An applicant for employment, Katherine Wright (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against Hermanson Company, LLP; Hermanson Corporation; Hermanson Group II, LLC; and Hermanson Management Group, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”) on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated applicants for employment. The lawsuit, Wright v. Hermanson Company, LLP, et al., No. 24-2-14081-6 SEA (the “Lawsuit”) is pending in King County Superior Court before Judge Joe Campagna. Plaintiff claimed in the lawsuit that Defendants’ job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or general description of benefits being offered in violation of Washington law. Defendants dispute Plaintiff’s claims and contend they have not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit.
The Court still has to decide whether to approve the Settlement. No Settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final.
