(i) The Claimant was employed by one or more of the companies listed above at any time from January 1, 2017 to the January 5, 2023; and

(ii) Based on the EEOC’s assessment, the Claimant could assert a viable claim for being subjected to sexual harassment and/or a sexually hostile work environment.

If you were employed by one or more of the companies listed above at any time between January 1, 2017 and January 5, 2023 and believe you were subjected to sexual harassment, and/or a sexual hostile work environment during your employment, you may be eligible to receive money from the Settlement.
