COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– SC Attorney General Allen Wilson, and a bipartisan group of attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission released a $100 million multi-state settlement with Walmart over allegations that the company deceived customers and drivers who took part in its Spark driver program.
The company is accused of misrepresenting pre-trip amounts, base pay, and incentive pay to drivers, and deceiving customers into thinking 100% of their tips went to the drivers.
Walmart will pay drivers in South Carolina nearly $1 million, plus another $1 million to the state of South Carolina.
