I was a named plaintiff in a class action lawsuit against my former employer for wage violations. Last week, my lawyer called me to tell me the case was agreed to be settled for 2.8 million. He said I will receive a $10,000 "bonus" in addition to lost wages once they are calculated. He said there are two other named plaintiffs in the case, and something like 2,500 employees eligible to get a cut over a 3 year period.
My question is, is this a fair settlement for me? 10 grand is certainly nice, but it sounds kind of low compared to 2.8 million. Feels like I should be getting something closer to 100k. What are my options? I haven't signed anything yet. Should I?
Edit: The case covers franchise work for which owned stores in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I was lead plaintiff representing the Pennsylvania employees.
If those who responded before would like to respond again, I promise I will not delete this thread.
