Some job postings don’t tell the full story—and that’s exactly what this class action is about. If you applied for a Target job in Washington between Jan. 1, 2023, and July 26, 2025, and the posting didn’t include pay or benefits info, you could be eligible for a payout of about $1,711.93 or more.
This guide breaks it down fast so you know what to do next.
Why the Lawsuit Exists?
The lawsuit claims Target violated Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act by not including required wage scales, salary ranges, or benefits info in job postings. Target denies wrongdoing but agreed to a $2.2 million settlement to avoid the risks and costs of ongoing litigation.

Applied for a Target job in Washington between Jan. 1, 2023, and July 26, 2025
