Rosales v Harbor Distributing

Harbor Distributing workers are getting money back over alleged California and federal labor law violations. If you worked there as an hourly employee between November 2020 and May 2024, there's a settlement with your name on it.

Non-exempt hourly employees who worked for Harbor Distributing, LLC from November 11, 2020 through May 27, 2024, covering Class Members, FLSA Collective Members, and PAGA Aggrieved Employees for alleged California and federal labor law violations. Checked against the official settlement source by SettleSignal on June 17, 2026.

Pending final court approval: you can file a claim now, but payments begin only after the court grants final approval (and any appeals conclude). Final approval is not guaranteed.

Who may qualify

You self-certify the basics when you file — the settlement administrator makes the final eligibility decision.

You may qualify if you were a non-exempt hourly worker at Harbor Distributing, LLC at any point from November 11, 2020 through May 27, 2024. This covers standard class members, FLSA collective members, and PAGA aggrieved employees — basically anyone on an hourly wage who wasn't exempt from overtime rules.

How hard is this claim to file?

Your Class and PAGA payments land automatically if you do nothing — but to get your share of the FLSA (federal) portion you must cash or deposit the check you receive, and if Harbor's work-day count for you is wrong, you need to challenge it in writing before the deadline.

Watch out for

  • The FLSA payment is not automatic — you must endorse, cash, or deposit the check to opt in. Ignoring that check means you forfeit the federal wage portion.
  • All written challenges to your work-day count, opt-out requests, and objections share the same deadline: June 24, 2025. Missing it cuts off those rights.
  • Opting out of the Class Settlement means losing your Individual Class Payment, but you still cannot opt out of the PAGA portion.
  • The amount you receive depends directly on how many work days Harbor's records show — verify that number on your notice before the challenge deadline passes.
  • Final court approval has not yet been granted as of the notice date; the settlement could be modified before July 24, 2025.

We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.

How do I file a claim for this settlement?

No claim form is needed — the official administrator issues this refund automatically; confirm your eligibility and contact details on the official source.

  1. 1
    Check the first page of the notice you received — it shows the number of Class Period, FLSA Period, and PAGA Period work days Harbor has on record for you.
  2. 2
    If that work-day count is wrong, submit a written challenge to the Settlement Administrator by fax, mail, or email by June 24, 2025.
  3. 3
    When your FLSA payment check arrives, read the endorsement language on it carefully — cashing or depositing it counts as your opt-in to the FLSA portion of the settlement.
  4. 4
    If you want to opt out of the Class Settlement entirely, send a written Request for Exclusion to the Settlement Administrator by June 24, 2025 via fax, mail, or email. Note: you cannot opt out of the PAGA portion.
  5. 5
    If you have no disputes and are satisfied with the settlement, do nothing — you will automatically receive your Individual Class Payment and Individual PAGA Payment (if any).
  6. 6
    The Final Approval Hearing is July 24, 2025; you don't have to attend, but Participating Class Members who want to object may appear in person, by phone, or via the court's virtual platform.
