COURT APPROVES SETTLEMENT
Raisner Roupinian LLP filed a class action complaint on April 10, 2023, against Pear Therapeutics (US), Inc. (“Defendant”) seeking to recover 60 days’ wages and benefits for terminated employees under the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN Act”) and the California Labor Code (“CAL-WARN Act”).
We contended the Defendant ordered mass layoffs or plant closings on or about April 7, 2023, without providing 60 days’ advance notice as required by the WARN Act and California Labor Code. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware adjudicated the case.
The parties reached a proposed $990,000 settlement of the WARN class action subject to preliminary and final approval by the Court.
On December 18, 2023, the Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and certified a WARN class for settlement purposes. The class is defined as employees who worked at, received assignments from, or reported to Defendant’s former facilities in Boston, Raleigh, and San Francisco, who were terminated without cause on or about April 7, 2023, or in reasonable anticipation of or as the reasonably foreseeable consequence of the mass layoffs ordered by Defendant. Notice of the terms of the settlement was mailed to class members on December 19, 2023.
On February 13, 2024, the Court granted final approval of the settlement. The settlement administer mailed checks to class members on May 24, 2024.
