On September 8, 2022, a federal court in Chicago granted final approval of a class action settlement in the lawsuit Bryant v. Compass Group USA, Inc., Case No. 1:19-cv-06622.

The Settlement Administrator began to send settlement payments to eligible class members who timely returned valid claim forms on November 9, 2022.

Eligible class members could select electronic payment or payment by check. If no payment election was made, eligible class members were sent checks in the mail to the address provided in their claim form.

If you elected to receive an electronic payment, and the electronic payment is unsuccessful for any reason, a check will be issued to your mailing address. Checks will not be issued until the unclaimed funds are received back from the electronic payment processor. It will take more than a month to receive those funds and issue checks.
