Evergreen Alliance Arcis Golf Left Salary Ranges Off Job Postings. Washington Applicants Can Now Claim Up to $1,378.

People who applied for those jobs between January 1, 2023, and February 2, 2026, can file a claim for an estimated $1,378.97. The claim deadline is May 18, 2026.

Washington Law Required Salary Disclosures. Arcis Golf Didn’t Include Them.

Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58.110) requires employers with 15 or more employees to include a wage scale or salary range — plus a general description of benefits and other compensation — in every job posting. The law took effect January 1, 2023.

Plaintiff Katherine Wright filed a class action lawsuit in King County Superior Court (Case No. 25-2-03402-0 SEA) claiming Evergreen Alliance Golf Ltd. LP posted open positions without this legally required information. Wright alleged this prevented applicants from knowing upfront what a job paid or what benefits came with it — depriving them of information the law specifically requires employers to share.

Evergreen Alliance Golf Ltd. LP denies any wrongdoing. The company agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

What the Settlement Pays — and What Affects Your Check

Every eligible class member who files a timely, valid claim receives an equal share of whatever remains in the settlement fund after fees and costs. The current estimate is $1,378.97 per person.

Here’s how the fund breaks down:

• Settlement administration costs: up to $20,000
• Attorneys’ fees and expenses: $924,530
• Service award to class representative Katherine Wright: $20,000
• Cash payments to class members: up to $5,000 each

The minimum fund is $2,052,453.52 and the maximum is $3,134,000. The more people who file valid claims above the 784-claimant threshold, the more money Evergreen pays into the fund — up to the cap. Your actual payment depends on how many valid claims Simpluris receives. The maximum individual payment is $5,000. Payments will arrive as paper checks and are classified as non-wage income (reported on a 1099 form).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to file a claim? 

No. You do not need your own attorney. Class counsel from Emery Reddy, PC in Seattle represents all class members at no cost to you. You can file your claim directly at epoasettlementeagl.com without any legal help.

Is this settlement legitimate?

 Yes. This is a court-supervised class action filed in King County Superior Court (Case No. 25-2-03402-0 SEA). The settlement administrator is Simpluris, Inc., a court-appointed firm. The official website is epoasettlementeagl.com.

When will I receive my payment?

 The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for June 8, 2026. If the court approves the settlement and no appeals follow, Simpluris will mail checks approximately 90 days after that. Note that all checks expire 180 days after the issue date.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 The current deadline is May 18, 2026. If that date passes before you file, you will not receive a payment even if you otherwise qualify. Contact Simpluris at (866) 383-5856 before the deadline if you have questions about your eligibility.

Will this settlement payment affect my taxes? 

Likely yes. Simpluris will report payments as non-wage income on a 1099 form. That means your payment may count as taxable income for the year you receive it. Consult a tax professional if you have specific questions about your situation.

I applied for multiple positions at Arcis Golf. Do I get paid for each one? 

The settlement pays each class member one equal share of the net fund regardless of how many qualifying applications they submitted. The current estimate is $1,378.97 per person, with a maximum of $5,000.

Why does it matter that Arcis Golf didn’t list salary ranges?

 Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act requires employers to post pay information so job seekers can make informed decisions without having to negotiate in the dark. The law aims to close wage gaps by making compensation visible before a candidate even applies.

What happens if I do nothing?

 If you qualify but do not file a claim by May 18, 2026, you give up your right to receive a payment. You will also release your legal claims against Evergreen Alliance Golf Ltd. LP related to the conduct described in the lawsuit, and you will not be able to sue separately over the same issue.
