Some Spark drivers claim they may have been misclassified as independent contractors instead of employees, and allegedly denied critical labor and employment protections such as overtime pay, health benefits, and expense reimbursement. Additionally, Walmart allegedly required drivers to use Branch accounts for wage deposits, resulting in delays, fees for transferring money, and an inability to access earned wages in a timely manner.
