it → resolve → payment
The company said about $6.6 million worth of payments never reached the drivers, while another $5.7 million was paid out days or even weeks late.

million → say → drivers
However, the average missing payment for average delivery workers is only $7.70, with a median of $48, the company said.
asserted
company → miss → 48
The settlement includes $12.3 million for Dashers who were underpaid or paid late, $83 million is to resolve a disagreement over how to calculate pay for time drivers spend online between deliveries, while the rest of the money will pay off city fines, the company said.
asserted
company → include → fines
“Despite our best efforts to comply with the new rules, we made mistakes,” DoorDash officials said.
asserted
officials → comply → mistakes

asserted
that → cause → locations
“In other cases, errors stemmed from Dashers providing incomplete or inaccurate banking information.”
asserted
Dashers → stem → information
