You may be entitled to a cash payment from a Class Action Settlement if you scanned your fingerprint/hand for timekeeping purposes while working at a Perillo Automotive location any time between March 17, 2017 and July 25, 2024.

BIPA prohibits private entities from capturing, obtaining, storing, transferring, and/or using biometric identifiers and/or biometric information, such as fingerprint/hand scans, of an individual for any purpose, including timekeeping, without first providing such individual with certain written disclosures and obtaining written consent. This lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated BIPA by allegedly collecting  individuals’ biometric identifiers when they used Defendant’s timekeeping system in Illinois without first providing the required disclosures or obtaining the required consent. Defendant contests these claims and denies that it violated BIPA.

If the Court approves the Settlement, and you do not exclude yourself from the Settlement Class, you will automatically receive an equal share of the Settlement Fund after deductions for the Settlement Administrator’s  expenses, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses for Class Counsel, and a Service Award for the Class Representative. The exact amount of each Class Member’s payment is unknown at this time, but the per-person payment is estimated to be approximately $800. If the Court does not give Final Approval of the Settlement, or if it is terminated by the Parties, the Settlement will be void, and the lawsuit will proceed as if there had been no settlement and no certification of the Settlement Class.
