What Is the Boeing Lawsuit About? Perry v. The Boeing Company, et al., No. 24-2-12754-2 SEA

Plaintiff claims that Defendants violated Washington law, RCW 49.58.110, when they allegedly did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered on job postings for open positions. Defendants deny that they are or can be held liable for the claims made in the Lawsuit.

Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA), codified at RCW 49.58.110, has required all employers with 15 or more employees to include a wage scale or salary range — and a general description of benefits — in every job posting since January 1, 2023. As of early 2025, hundreds of class actions have been filed alleging failure to comply with RCW 49.58.110. The law exists to promote pay equity, reduce gender-based wage disparities, and give applicants the information they need to negotiate fairly before accepting a job offer.

The case is pending in King County Superior Court, State of Washington, before Judge John McHale. Class Counsel is Timothy W. Emery, Patrick B. Reddy, Paul Cipriani, and Hannah Hamley of Emery Reddy, PC, a Seattle-based employment firm. If you’ve looked at similar cases — like the Washington pay transparency settlement against Target, covered in our April 2026 class action roundup — this case follows the same legal theory and the same statute. Boeing is one of the largest employers in Washington, and this settlement class covers anyone who applied for an open position at The Boeing Company or Boeing Financial Corporation during the three-plus-year class period. Boeing disputes the allegations and has not admitted wrongdoing.

Who Qualifies for the Boeing Job Posting Settlement?

Here is how to know if this case includes you. You do not need to have been hired, and you do not need a lawyer to file.

You may qualify if:

• You applied for a job opening with The Boeing Company or Boeing Financial Corporation in the State of Washington between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2026.
• The job posting you applied to did not include a wage scale, salary range, or general description of benefits and other compensation for the position.
• You reside in the United States.

You do NOT qualify if:

• You are a current officer or director of Boeing.
• You submit a valid opt-out request before June 29, 2026 — opting out removes you from the class entirely.
• You applied for a Boeing position outside the State of Washington.
• Your application was for a position posted between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2026, but the posting did include the required wage information.

If you are still not sure whether you are included, you can contact the Settlement Administrator by calling toll-free at (833) 386-6514, emailing [email protected], or by visiting the Settlement Website. You can also review the full class definition in the Settlement Agreement posted at epoasettlementtbc.com. This settlement is specifically for employment class action settlement claims under Washington’s pay transparency law — it does not cover wage theft, wrongful termination, or other employment disputes you may have with Boeing.

How Much Can You Get from the Boeing Settlement?

All Settlement Class Members who submit a timely, valid Claim Form are eligible to receive an equal share of the Class Fund. Your estimated payment amount is on the Claim Form you received with the Notice.

The estimated payment is $1,396.32 per claimant — but the final amount will rise or fall depending on how many class members file a claim. Here is why: the settlement fund scales with participation. The proposed Class Action Settlement includes a payment by Boeing of $5,235,990 to $8,044,000 depending on how many Class Members submit a claim. The more people who file, the larger the total fund — and each claimant receives an equal slice of whatever net fund remains after attorneys’ fees and administration costs are paid.

There is only one payment tier. Every eligible class member who submits a valid claim gets the same amount — no documentation required, no proof of harm needed. You do not have to show you lost money, missed a job opportunity, or suffered any specific damage. Filing the claim form is the only step required to receive your payment. Settlement payments will be characterized as non-wage damages (1099). That means you should expect to receive a 1099 tax form if your payment exceeds $600 — consult a tax professional about how this may affect your return.

Attorneys’ fees are capped at $2,372,980, and the class representative Steven Perry is requesting a $20,000 service award, both paid from the settlement fund before class member distributions. These amounts still leave each eligible claimant with a substantial payment — significantly more than many data breach or consumer class action settlements of similar size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a class action lawsuit against Boeing over job postings? 

Yes. Perry v. The Boeing Company, et al., Case No. 24-2-12754-2 SEA, is pending in King County Superior Court in Seattle, Washington. Plaintiff Steven Perry alleges Boeing violated RCW 49.58.110 — Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act — by posting job openings without the required salary ranges and benefits descriptions. The case covers applications submitted between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2026.

Do I need to do anything right now to be included and get paid? 

Yes — you must actively file a claim to receive a payment. If you do nothing, you will remain in the Settlement Class, but you will forfeit the opportunity to receive an individual payment and give up any right to sue Defendants about the claims that have been asserted in this Lawsuit. Submit your claim at epoasettlementtbc.com before June 29, 2026.

Do I need a lawyer to file a Boeing settlement claim?

 No. You don’t need to hire your own attorney because Class Counsel are working on your behalf. You will not be charged for these attorneys. The claim form is free and takes about 5–10 minutes to complete online. A consumer rights lawyer or employment discrimination attorney is only necessary if you want to opt out and pursue a separate individual claim.

When will I receive my Boeing settlement payment?

 If the Court approves the Settlement, eligible Settlement Class Members who submitted a timely, valid Claim Form will be mailed a check after all appeals and other reviews, if any, are completed. The Final Approval Hearing is August 7, 2026. Expect checks several weeks to months after that date, depending on whether any appeals are filed.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 The June 29, 2026 deadline is a court-set cutoff. If you miss it, you will not receive a payment. You will still be bound by the settlement and unable to sue Boeing over these specific claims — unless you had previously submitted a valid opt-out request by the same date. File early. There is no benefit to waiting.

Will the Boeing settlement payment affect my taxes?

 Settlement payments will be characterized as non-wage damages (1099). This means Simpluris will issue a 1099 form if your payment exceeds $600, and the payment may be considered taxable income. Consult a tax professional about your specific situation.

Will Boeing retaliate against me for filing a claim? 

No. Defendants support the Settlement and will not retaliate in any way against any Settlement Class Member for participating in the Settlement. Your decision to participate, not participate, or object to the Settlement will not affect any application for employment with Defendants or Defendants’ treatment of you as a current or former employee.

Can I file my own lawsuit against Boeing instead of participating?

 Yes, but you must opt out in writing by June 29, 2026. Send a signed letter stating your full name, address, and a clear statement that you wish to be excluded from the settlement in Perry v. The Boeing Company, et al., Case No. 24-2-12754-2 SEA, to the Settlement Administrator by that date. Filing your own employment class action settlement claim separately only makes sense if you believe your individual damages far exceed what this settlement offers. A free legal consultation with an employment attorney can help you weigh the tradeoff.
