Amazon Flex delivery drivers brought to light that Amazon did not pay them their promised hourly pay.

The company had advertised hourly pay to be from $18 to $25 for its flex drivers, including tips they earned.

The Federal Trade Commission said the e-commerce giant reduced the hourly pay and used tips to cover the difference.

Amazon has reached a settlement with the FTC to pay Amazon Flex delivery drivers more than $61 million.

Amazon disputes it was unclear in its statements about driver pay.
