Overview
- The settlement stems from claims that workers were not paid for mandatory security screenings and walking time at three New Jersey distribution centers.
- Eligibility includes hourly, nonexempt employees at Burlington, Perth Amboy and Logan Township facilities going back to Aug. 6, 2019.
- Payments will be distributed pro rata using Target’s payroll records, and no separate claim filing is required for eligible workers.
- Class members have until Feb. 13, 2026 to opt out or object before the court’s fairness hearing.
- Roughly $2.75 million is designated for claimant payments, about $1.53 million for attorneys’ fees, and $10,000 for lead plaintiff Krystal Sadler, with wage portions reported on W-2s and nonwage amounts potentially on 1099s as Target denies wrongdoing and related New York suits continue.
