Franchini, et al. v. Accu-Time Systems, Inc.,
No. 21-cv-05075 (N.D. Ill.)

File Claim

If you scanned your finger at a job location in Illinois you may be able to claim a payment from a class action settlement.

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Accu-Time Systems, Inc. (“Defendant”) brought by certain individuals who allegedly scanned their finger on a time clock at one of the following companies (“Defendant’s Customers”) in Illinois beginning on August 29, 2016:

Aclara; Ansira Partners; Ardent Mills; Benchmark; Bob’s Discount Furniture; Ecolab; Enova; Fellowes; Ferguson; Fresh Express; H&E Equipment (OneSource); Hello Fresh; Ilitch (LCS/Blue Line/Little Caesars); Montage; Patagonia; Ring Container; Scotts Miracle Grow; Societe General; TD Synnex; Van Pool; Victaulic; Waste Connections; World Fuel Services; XPEL

If the Court approves the Settlement, members of the Class who submit valid claims will receive an equal, or pro rata, share of a $1,500,000.00 settlement fund that Defendant has agreed to establish, after all notice and administration costs, incentive awards, and attorneys’ fees have been paid. Individual payments to Settlement Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form are estimated to be $100 to $500 but could be more or less depending on the number of valid claims submitted.

Please read the notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected whether you act, or don’t act.
