Walmart Pays $13M to Fix Driver Pay | Houston News

Walmart’s Spark Driver Program faces major fallout after agreeing to a $13 million Texas settlement over mispaying grocery delivery drivers—$6.7 million paid directly to drivers, another $6.7 million to the state for penalties. The company insists it didn’t break any laws, but the deal mandates new rules: drivers must now get the promised pay, and Walmart can’t misrepresent earnings including tips. A 10-year state-supervised earnings verification program ensures fair treatment moving forward. Though the exact number of affected drivers remains unclear, Texas AG stresses companies must honor their pay promises.
