Key facts

• Who may qualify You qualify if you applied for a job opening in Washington with Zale Delaware, Inc. and/or Sterling Jewelers Inc. between January 1, 2023 and July 26, 2025, and the job posting either (a) showed a wage scale or salary range starting below Washington's applicable annual minimum wage or below the applicable minimum wage in the relevant local jurisdiction — which matters if you applied in a higher-minimum city such as Seattle, SeaTac, Tukwila or Renton — or (b) did not disclose pay or benefits information at all. The class is roughly 1,111 people: about 667 in the Minimum Wage class and 444 in the No Pay class.

The Companies will pay a total amount that depends on how many class members claim. All Settlement Class Members who submit a timely, valid Claim Form are eligible to receive a share of the Settlement Fund, allocated pro rata up to a maximum of $5,000 per participating class member. Your exact estimated payment amount is printed on the Claim Form mailed with your Notice.
