A $3 million Amazon settlement returns unpaid overtime wages to California workers who received a signing bonus.
The settlement benefits Amazon employees in California who received a signing bonus and/or sign-on bonus in the same workweek they worked overtime between July 22, 2017, and Nov. 7, 2023.
According to the wage and hour class action lawsuit, Amazon violated California laws by underpaying overtime wages during the same workweeks employees received a signing bonus. Plaintiffs in the case argue their regular rate of pay should have been calculated including this bonus.
Amazon is an online retailer with warehouses around the country.
Amazon hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $3 million to resolve the wage and hour class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Amazon settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the amount the company allegedly owes in overtime wages. Exact payments will vary, though each class member is expected to receive around $565.43.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is June 17, 2024.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Sept. 10, 2024.
No claim form is required to benefit from the Amazon settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive a settlement payment.
