Villagomez, et al. v. iSolved HCM, LLC.
In The Circuit Court Of Cook County, Illinois County Department, Chancery Division
Case No. 19-CH-12932
IF YOU SCANNED YOUR FINGER ON AN ISOLVED-BRANDED TIMECLOCK WHILE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS BETWEEN NOVEMBER 7, 2014 AND NOVEMBER 7, 2022, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO A PAYMENT FROM A CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT.
This is an official court notice. You are not being sued. This is not an ad for a lawyer.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit between iSolved HCM, LLC (“Defendant” or “iSolved”) and workers who scanned their finger on an iSolved-branded timeclock in the State of Illinois. The lawsuit claims that iSolved violated an Illinois law called the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) when it may have collected individuals’ biometric data when they used an iSolved-branded timeclock with a finger scanner without complying with the law’s requirements. iSolved denies that it violated any law. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. The Settlement has been preliminarily approved by a Judge in Cook County, Illinois.
You are included in the Settlement if you are an individual who scanned your finger in Illinois on a timeclock issued, leased or sold by iSolved, and whose biometric data from that scan was shared with or stored by iSolved, between November 7, 2014 and November 11, 2022, subject to certain exceptions detailed in FAQ 5. iSolved provides these time clock systems to employers of hourly workers. If you received a notice of this Settlement in the mail or by e-mail, our records indicate that you are a Settlement Class member and are included in the Settlement, and you may submit a Claim Form online or by mail to receive a cash payment.
If the Court approves the Settlement, Class Members who submit Approved Claims will receive an equal, or pro rata, share of a $2,486,750 Settlement Fund that iSolved has agreed to establish, after all notice and administration costs, incentive award, and attorneys’ fees have been paid. Individual payments to Class Members who submit Approved Claims are estimated to be between $640 to $965, but could be more or less depending on the number of valid claims submitted.
Please read this notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don’t act.
SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM | This is the only way to receive a payment. You must submit a complete and valid Claim Form online or by mail by April 11, 2023. |
DO NOTHING | You will receive no payment under the Settlement and give up your rights to sue iSolved and certain related companies and individuals about the issues in this case. |
EXCLUDE YOURSELF | You will receive no payment, but you will retain any rights you currently have to sue iSolved about the issues in this case. |
OBJECT | Write to the Court explaining why you don’t like the Settlement. |
ATTEND A HEARING | Ask to speak in Court about the fairness of the Settlement. |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in this notice.
The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. Payments will be provided only after any issues with the Settlement are resolved. Please be patient.
