Arise lured in workers with false promises about what they could earn while requiring them to pay out-of-pocket for essential equipment, training, and other expenses. Operating in the 'gig' economy is no license for evading the law, and the FTC will continue using all its tools to protect Americans from unlawful business practices.
But when the company advertised the $18 per hour figure in 2020, its internal documents said the average pay for jobs on its platform was $12 an hour, and 99.9% of the consumers who joined its platform from 2019 to 2022 made less than $18 per hour, the FTC said.
We vehemently disagree with the FTC's allegations and characterization of the facts, we have reached this agreement - which is not an admission or finding of liability or wrongdoing - so we can keep moving our business forward without the ongoing distraction and cost of litigation.
