Individual Settlement Payments will be calculated as follows:
- The number of Workweeks worked by Settlement Class Members during the Class Period will be used.
- Each Settlement Class Member is eligible to receive a pro rata share of the FLSA Settlement Payment bucket and the Rule 23 Settlement Payment bucket based on their share of the total number of Workweeks during the Class Period.
- The value of a single Workweek during the Class Period will be determined by dividing the FLSA Settlement Payment bucket and the Rule 23 Settlement Payment bucket by the total number of Workweeks during the Class Period worked by all Settlement Class Members.
- Each Settlement Class Member will be allocated a gross payment equal to their individual Workweeks during the Class Period multiplied by the value of a single Workweek during the Class Period.
The individual FLSA Settlement Payments and Rule 23 Settlement Payments will be allocated as follows:
- 50% of each Settlement Class Member’s Individual Settlement Payments will be allocated to settlement of wage claims (the “Wage Portions”).
- The remaining 50% will be allocated to liquidated damages, penalties, and interest.
The Wage Portions are subject to tax withholding and will be reported on an IRS W-2 Form. The portion allocated to liquidated damages, penalties, and interest (i.e., Non-Wage Portions) are not subject to wage withholdings and will be reported in IRS 1099 Forms (if required).
