How hard is this claim to file?

No claim form is required — eligible class members automatically receive a check by mail at the address on file with Watermark. The only action needed is to update your mailing address if it has changed, or to dispute your workweek count if the number shown on your notice is wrong.

Documents you'll need

Watch out for

  • You cannot opt out of the PAGA portion of the settlement — only the class settlement portion allows opt-outs.
  • Missing the dispute deadline means you lose the right to challenge the workweek or pay period count that determines your payment amount.
  • If your address on file with the settlement administrator is outdated, your check may not reach you — update it proactively.
  • Part of your payment (20%) is treated as wages and will be subject to tax withholding reported on a W-2; the remaining 80% is treated as penalties and reported on a 1099.
  • Individual PAGA payments are reported entirely as penalties on IRS 1099.

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 — Simpluris issues this refund automatically; confirm your eligibility and contact details on the official source.

  1. 1
    Confirm you are an hourly, non-exempt employee or former employee of Watermark Services IV LLC who worked in California during the Class Period (June 1, 2022 to March 31, 2025).
  2. 2
    Check the notice mailed to you for the number of workweeks and PAGA pay periods credited to you — this determines your payment amount.
  3. 3
    If your mailing address has changed, notify the settlement administrator immediately so your check reaches you.
  4. 4
    If you believe the workweek or PAGA pay period count on your notice is wrong, prepare a signed letter describing your dispute and mail it with supporting documentation (such as pay stubs) to the settlement administrator before the dispute deadline.
  5. 5
    If you want to opt out of the Class Settlement portion entirely, send a written, signed opt-out request to the settlement administrator before the opt-out deadline — note you cannot opt out of the PAGA portion.
  6. 6
    If you take no action and do not opt out, you will automatically receive a check in the mail approximately 44 days after the court grants final approval.
