How Is My Individual Class Payment Calculated?
Class Counsel obtained employment information for each Proposed Class Member, including how long they worked for Defendant and how much they earned. Class Counsel analyzed that information to determine how much each Proposed Class Member would be owed based on the strength of their respective claims and assuming they were valid. The Individual Class Payments will be calculated based on that analysis as a proportion of the total Net Settlement Amount.
How Will I Get Paid?
The Administrator will send, by U.S. mail, a single check to every Participating Class Member following the Effective Date of this Settlement. Your check will be sent to the same address as this notice. If you change your address, notify the Administrator as soon as possible.
