T-Mobile $7M Settlement for Kronos Outage Wage Claims

If you were employed by T-Mobile as a non-exempt (hourly) employee between November 28, 2021, and February 19, 2022, you may be eligible to claim a monetary award from a class action settlement.

T-Mobile USA, Inc. has agreed to pay $7,000,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for allegedly paying wages late under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) during the Kronos outage in late 2021 and early 2022.

Who are the class members?

To be considered a class member eligible for this settlement, you must meet specific criteria:

• You must have been employed by T-Mobile as a non-exempt (hourly) employee.
• Your employment must have occurred during the period from November 28, 2021, to February 19, 2022.
• You must have received a true-up payment in March 2022 for straight time, overtime, or double time.

What benefits can class members get?

The settlement payment each class member receives is based on their hours worked and the amount they were paid as part of the true-up once Kronos resolved the outage. This payment is considered "liquidated damages," representing a proportional amount of the allegedly delayed wages.

For example, if the net settlement fund is $5,000,000 and there are 10,000 valid claims, each claimant would receive $500. This calculation is based on dividing the net settlement fund by the number of valid claims. The exact amount each class member will receive depends on the total number of valid claims and the net settlement fund.

How to claim monetary benefits

To claim a monetary benefit, eligible class members must complete the claim form and submit it by January 11, 2025. Claimants can mail the completed form to the Settlement Administrator:
