    Lawsuit filed over Casey's driver mileage payments

    Lawsuit filed

    A delivery driver filed a lawsuit against Casey's General Store alleging that its flat-rate delivery payments failed to adequately reimburse drivers for vehicle expenses and reduced their net pay below the federal minimum wage. The filing concerns the company's flat-rate delivery payment practice and its effect on drivers' net pay after vehicle expenses. These are allegations in the lawsuit.

    A delivery driver filed a lawsuit against Casey’s General Store alleging that its flat-rate delivery payments failed to adequately reimburse drivers for vehicle expenses and reduced their net pay below the federal minimum wage. These are allegations in the lawsuit.

    Source excerpt

    • The lawsuit was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court on behalf of Jolene Greever of Davis County, a Casey’s delivery driver who has worked for the company since 2019, and all other similarly situated employees of the company.
    • The drivers’ hourly pay is roughly equal to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, the lawsuit alleges, and so the effect of the “kickback” is that the drivers’ net pay is significantly less than the minimum wage.
    • The new lawsuit is aimed at Casey’s General Store.
