Arise agrees to $2 million settlement with agents over claimed wage theft. | |
Arise Virtual Solutions has settled to pay over $2 million to more than 250 workers after being accused of improperly classifying them as independent contractors and failing to pay minimum wages. This settlement was announced by the D.C. attorney general on March 12. Without admitting any wrongdoing, Arise will also pay $940,000 to the District of Columbia and will cease its operations in the district. The attorney general, Brian Schwalb, stated that this settlement addresses the issue of misclassification, a practice he described as too prevalent in the District. Arise, known for providing remote customer service for major corporations, faced criticism for its employment practices, particularly in Washington D.C., where it was alleged to have denied workers minimum wage, overtime, and paid sick leave by misclassifying them as contractors.
