About This Case

IF YOU WORKED FOR UPSTAGING, INC., AND UTILIZED A HAND SCAN TIMEKEEPING SYSTEM, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION

A state court authorized this Notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

  • A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about whether Upstaging, Inc. (“Upstaging” of “Defendant”) captured and stored biometric information. The Court has not decided who is right.

  • The Settlement offers payments to Settlement Class Members.

  • Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read the Notice carefully

  • YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT

    DO NOTHING

    If you are a member of the Settlement Class and the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final and effective, you will receive your payment by check.

    EXCLUDE YOURSELF

    You may request to be excluded from the Settlement and, if you do, you will receive no benefits from the Settlement.

    OBJECT

    Write to the Court if you do not like the Settlement.

    GO TO 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 the Notice.
