I left that job years ago. Am I still included?
Yes. Former employees who worked any time between April 7, 2013 and November 1, 2019 are included, not just people who were still employed when the lawsuit was filed.
What did the employer allegedly do wrong?
The lawsuit claims violations of California labor law, including unpaid overtime, unpaid training time, unlawful time rounding, missed or late meal and rest breaks, and failure to reimburse employees for cell phone and computer expenses. The defendants deny all of these claims.
Do I need to dig up old pay stubs or records to file?
No. The settlement does not require you to submit proof of employment. Defendants' records are being used to identify class members.
What happens if I don't file a claim?
If you don't submit a claim and don't opt out, you'll still be bound by the settlement terms — meaning you release your claims against the defendants — but you won't receive any money. To get paid, you need to file a claim.
Will filing or participating affect my current job there?
No. The notice states that California law and the defendants' policies prohibit retaliation, and your employment status will not be affected by whether you participate or not.
