If you worked at a Speedway in Illinois between Sept. 1, 2012 and Nov. 1, 2017 and used a fingerprint scanner to clock in or out, you could automatically receive a payment of about $970 from a new class action settlement.
Here’s what you need to know
Why is there a lawsuit?
Speedway workers alleged the company violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by requiring employees to scan their fingerprints without:
Getting written consent

Who qualifies?
