SETTLEMENT APPROVED
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action suit against Colortree Group, Inc. (“Colortree”) on June 6, 2019, seeking to recover 60 days wages and benefits under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (“WARN”) Act, and unpaid wages, including accrued vacation pay, under the Virginia Wage Payment Act for terminated Colortree employees. We contend Colortree ordered a mass layoff on or about June 3, 2019 without providing its employees advance written notice. On September 12, 2019, the Court certified the Class.
On December 10, 2019, the United States Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement of this action in the amount of $500,000. Settlement checks (net of class counsel’s fees, expenses and applicable withholdings), were mailed to eligible Class Members on January 22, 2020.
WARN ACT
Raisner Roupinian LLP will provide you with information regarding your rights in this WARN class action. The federal WARN Act requires companies with 100+ full-time employees to provide them with 60 days’ written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. Additionally, certain states also have WARN Acts.
Without the required notice, an employer may be liable for 60 days’ wages and benefits to each affected employee.
