You may be eligible to receive money from an employee class action lawsuit (“Action”) against Rogar Manufacturing Incorporated (abbreviate name; “DEFENDANT” is used herein as a placeholder) for alleged wage and hour violations. The Action was filed by a former DEFENDANT employee Antonio Lopez Morfin (“PLAINTIFF”) and seeks payment of (1) back wages and other relief for a class of e.g., hourly employees (“Class Members”) who worked for DEFENDANT during the Class Period (July 22, 2018 through December 27, 2024).
You Don’t Have to Do Anything to Participate in the Settlement | If you do nothing, you will be a Participating Class Member, eligible for an Individual Class Payment. In exchange, you will give up your right to assert the wage claims against DEFENDANT that are covered by this Settlement (Released Claims). |
You Can Opt-out of the Class Settlement The Opt-out Deadline Is May 3, 2025 | If you don’t want to fully participate in the proposed Settlement, you can opt-out of the Class Settlement by sending the Administrator a written Request for Exclusion. Once excluded, you will be a Non-Participating Class Member and no longer eligible for an Individual Class Payment. Non-Participating Class Members cannot object to any portion of the proposed Settlement. |
Participating Class Members Can Object to the Class Settlement Written Objections Must be Submitted by May 3, 2025 | All Class Members who do not opt-out (“Participating Class Members”) can object to any aspect of the proposed Settlement. The Court’s decision whether to finally approve the Settlement will include a determination of how much will be paid to Class Counsel and PLAINTIFF who pursued the Action on behalf of the Class. You are not personally responsible for any payments to Class Counsel or PLAINTIFF, but every dollar paid to Class Counsel and PLAINTIFF reduces the overall amount paid to Participating Class Members. You can object to the amounts requested by Class Counsel or PLAINTIFF if you think they are unreasonable. |
You Can Participate in the June 20, 2025 Final Approval Hearing | The Court’s Final Approval Hearing is scheduled to take place on June 20, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. You don’t have to attend but you do have the right to appear (or hire an attorney to appear on your behalf at your own cost), in person, by telephone or by using the Court’s virtual appearance platform. Participating Class Members can orally object to the Settlement at the Final Approval Hearing. |
You Can Challenge the Calculation of Your Workweeks Written Challenges Must be Submitted by May 3, 2025 | The amount of your Individual Class Payment depends on how many workweeks you worked at least one day during the Class Period. The number Class Period Workweeks you worked according to DEFENDANT’s records is stated on the first page of your Notice. If you disagree with this number, you must challenge it by May 3, 2025. |
