Settlement breakdown

The settlement covers roughly 2,100 workers. Under its terms, Willis, Colbert, Peacock and Taylor will each receive $5,000 through separately negotiated payments. Benvenutti and Rice are set to receive $20,000 each to resolve their individual retaliation claims.

About $520,500 of the settlement fund is earmarked for attorney fees and costs, while approximately $14,000 will go toward settlement administration expenses.
