Target forced to automatically hand out checks to Americans from $4.6 million settlement...
Target is distributing $4.6 million to eligible employees from a settlement regarding unpaid wages at its New Jersey distribution centers.Summary
Retailer Target is automatically issuing checks to approximately 13,700 current and former employees as part of a $4.6 million settlement. The class action lawsuit stemmed from allegations that Target failed to adequately compensate workers at its New Jersey distribution centers for time spent walking before and after shifts. While Target denies the allegations, they agreed to the settlement, which will provide payments to hourly, non-exempt employees who worked at the centers between August 6, 2019, and the settlement date. Payments will be distributed on a pro rata basis, determined by each employee’s pay records, and are described as “significant” by legal counsel. No claim form is required; eligible employees who did not exclude themselves will automatically receive a check pending final court approval on February 24, 2026.
