The judge’s approval of the settlement ends nearly four years of litigation, as the initial class-action suit was filed Dec. 30, 2017, on behalf of over 200 nurse advisers.
The advisers were forced to work overtime to meet production quotas without receiving entitled additional pay, the lawsuit alleged.
The settlement will net the plaintiffs about $8 million, with individuals receiving about $36,000 each. The rest of the fees will cover attorney payments.
