If you worked hourly for Amazon Retail LLC in Washington between October 3, 2021, and October 27, 2025, you could automatically receive a payment from a $2 million class action settlement. Here’s a simple guide to what’s happening and what you need to do—especially if you clicked here from an email.
Why This Lawsuit Exists?
The lawsuit, Garner v. Amazon Retail LLC (Case No. 24-2-11344-0), claims that Amazon failed to provide legally required meal and rest breaks to hourly employees in Washington.
Because of this:
Employees allegedly were not paid all wages owed
Amazon agreed to settle for $2 million to resolve the claims
Amazon denies any wrongdoing
The goal of the settlement is to compensate affected employees fairly without a trial.
