Online grocer Weee must pay Mass. workers misclassified as contractors

Driving the news: A California-based Asian online supermarket called Weee agreed to an $865,000 settlement with Campbell's office over allegations that 164 workers were misclassified as independent contractors.

• The bulk of that money is restitution for the workers, who Campbell's office says weren't able to earn sick time or take advantage of other protections afforded to full-time employees.
• The remaining $80,000 covers fines the company agreed to pay, per the settlement agreement Campbell signed last Thursday.

Weee did not immediately respond to an inquiry from Axios.

What's next: The company has until Aug. 21 to pay the state and send a list of employees who will get restitution payments, which Campbell's office will send out.
