FN Logistics $5,565,000 California Wage and Hour Settlement, Check If You Qualify — Bucio, et al. v. FN Logistics, LLC, No. 22STCV26948

If you worked an hourly job for FN Logistics — Fashion Nova’s own warehouse and logistics arm — or were placed there by a staffing agency in California between January 2019 and the end of 2024, yes, you’re likely included. FN Logistics agreed to pay $5,565,000 over unpaid wages, missed breaks, and other Labor Code violations. Most eligible workers don’t need to file anything to get paid.

Who Is FN Logistics and Why Are They Being Sued Over Wages?

FN Logistics, LLC is Fashion Nova’s in-house warehouse and fulfillment operation — not one of the third-party garment factories that made headlines back in 2019 over underpaid sewers. This case is about the people who picked, packed, and shipped orders out of Fashion Nova’s own distribution centers, plus temp workers sent there through staffing agencies like Adecco, Randstad, and several others named in the settlement. Warehouse work in California comes with strict rules around overtime, breaks, and even things like seating and indoor temperature — rules plaintiffs say FN Logistics and its staffing partners didn’t follow.

What Did FN Logistics Do to Workers Between 2019 and 2024?

Plaintiffs, several former FN Logistics workers, filed suit alleging the company and its staffing agencies failed to pay all overtime wages, failed to pay minimum wage, didn’t timely pay wages during employment or at termination, didn’t reimburse business expenses, denied required meal and rest breaks, issued inaccurate wage statements, didn’t provide sick pay, and even failed to provide suitable seating or maintain reasonable indoor temperatures. Based on those same allegations, Plaintiffs also brought a claim for civil penalties under California’s Private Attorneys General Act, which lets workers sue on behalf of the state.

FN Logistics denies all of it and says it complied with the law. Rather than litigate the claims to a verdict, both sides brought in a retired judge to mediate and reached a settlement. Here’s the detail worth knowing if you followed the earlier Fashion Nova wage story: the temperature-related claims aren’t part of this case — those were already resolved separately in Hill v. Fashion Nova, a different Los Angeles lawsuit. This settlement covers everything else.

If you’re trying to understand your broader rights around unpaid wages in California, our guide on the statute of limitations for wage and hour claims breaks down how long you have to act on claims outside a settlement like this one. And for another recent example of a large PAGA-inclusive settlement, see the Grubhub $24.75 million misclassification settlement, which used a similar 75/25 PAGA penalty split.

Most wage-and-hour settlements make you do the work of filing a claim. This one doesn’t, for most people — which is unusual enough that it’s worth repeating twice.

Who Qualifies for the FN Logistics Wage and Hour Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• Current and former hourly, non-exempt employees who worked for FN Logistics or its predecessor in California between January 13, 2019, and December 31, 2024
• Temporary employees placed at FN Logistics California locations by a staffing agency during that same period
• Workers who also worked any pay period between October 2, 2021, and December 31, 2024 qualify additionally for a separate PAGA payment
• Anyone who received a mailed settlement notice is already confirmed as a Class Member

You do not need to do anything extra if you already received a notice by mail — a check is coming automatically once the settlement is finally approved.

FN Logistics Workers Who Didn’t Get a Mailed Notice — Are You Still Covered?

Possibly. If you believe you qualify but never received notice, you can still submit a Claim Form with copies of pay stubs or other records proving your workweeks, mailed so it’s received by the administrator no later than October 26, 2026. This is different from most data breach settlements, where a missing notice usually means you’re excluded — here, it just means you have to prove your own eligibility instead of relying on FN Logistics’ records.

How Much Can FN Logistics Settlement Class Members Get?

There’s no flat number here — your payment depends entirely on how many workweeks and pay periods you worked.

How Individual Class Payments Are Calculated

The administrator takes the Net Settlement Amount (what’s left after court-approved deductions), divides it by the total workweeks worked by every Participating Class Member, then multiplies that rate by your own workweeks. More weeks worked means a bigger check; the math is the same for everyone.

How Individual PAGA Payments Are Calculated

Separately, $50,000 of the settlement is divided by the total pay periods worked by all PAGA Members during the October 2021–December 2024 PAGA period, then multiplied by your own pay periods. This check comes combined with your Class Payment into a single mailing.

What Comes Out Before You Get Paid

Before any checks go out, the court can approve up to $1,947,750 (35%) in attorneys’ fees plus $52,250 in litigation costs, up to $10,000 in enhancement payments to each of the named plaintiffs, up to $32,000 to Simpluris for administering the settlement, and up to $200,000 in PAGA penalties — 75% of which goes to California’s Labor and Workforce Development Agency, with the rest split among PAGA Members.

Taxes work differently here than in most settlements: 20% of your Individual Class Payment counts as wages (reported on a W-2, with withholding), and 80% counts as interest and penalties (reported on a 1099). Neither side is giving you tax advice — talk to a professional about what you’ll owe.

That 35% attorneys’ fee request is on the higher end of what courts typically approve in California wage cases, though it’s not unusual for cases resolved before trial through mediation.

What Workers Need to Do — Step by Step

1. If you received a mailed notice: do nothing. A single check combining your Class Payment and any PAGA Payment will be mailed automatically once the settlement receives final approval.
2. If you think you qualify but got no notice: download and complete the Claim Form at buciovfnlogisticsclassaction.com
3. Gather copies (never originals) of pay stubs or other records proving your workweeks
4. Mail the completed form and copies to the Settlement Administrator so it’s received, not just postmarked, by October 26, 2026
5. If you disagree with the workweeks or pay periods FN Logistics’ records show for you, send a signed letter with supporting copies to challenge the count by the same deadline
6. Confirm your mailing address is current with the administrator so your check doesn’t get lost

Automatic payment takes no action at all. Filing a claim or a challenge, if you need to, takes about 10 minutes plus mailing time — mail early, since the deadline is based on when the administrator receives it, not when you send it.

Should FN Logistics Class Members Opt Out or Object Before October 26, 2026?

What Opting Out of the FN Logistics Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means giving up your Individual Class Payment, but you keep the right to sue FN Logistics on your own over the same wage claims. You cannot opt out of the PAGA portion — even if you exclude yourself from the class settlement, you still receive any PAGA payment and still give up your right to bring PAGA claims separately. The deadline to opt out is October 26, 2026.

How to Object to the FN Logistics Settlement

Only Participating Class Members — people who don’t opt out — can object. Objections should explain what you disagree with (the settlement terms, or the amounts Class Counsel is requesting) and include your name, address, phone number, and approximate dates of employment, sent to the Settlement Administrator by October 26, 2026.

Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before October 26, 2026 if you’re weighing either option.

A note on the settlement website’s dates: the FAQ and Claim Form pages both state the Response Deadline — covering opt-outs, objections, and claims — as October 26, 2026. The site’s separate “Important Dates” summary page lists the opt-out deadline as December 1, 2026, matching the final hearing date instead. That looks like an inconsistency between two pages on the same site rather than two real deadlines — treat October 26, 2026 as the operative date unless the administrator confirms otherwise when you call.

FN Logistics Wage and Hour — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 22STCV26948

Do I need a lawyer to get paid from the FN Logistics settlement? 

No. If you received a mailed notice, payment is automatic. Class Counsel — four law firms including Lavi & Ebrahimian and Bradley/Grombacher — already represents the class for free.

Is the FN Logistics wage and hour settlement legitimate?

 Yes. It’s pending in the Los Angeles Superior Court, Case No. 22STCV26948, and administered by Simpluris, Inc. Only use buciovfnlogisticsclassaction.com to file a claim or check details.

When will FN Logistics settlement payments be sent? 

FN Logistics must fund the settlement within 30 days after the judgment becomes final — which means after the December 1, 2026 hearing and any appeal period. The administrator mails checks after that.

What if I didn’t get a mailed notice and missed the deadline?

 Claim Forms must be received, not just postmarked, by October 26, 2026. If you believe you’re eligible and haven’t acted yet, contact the administrator immediately rather than waiting.

Will my FN Logistics settlement payment be taxed? 

Yes, partially. 20% of your Individual Class Payment is treated as wages and reported on a W-2; the rest, plus any PAGA payment, is reported on a 1099. Talk to a tax professional about what you’ll owe.

What claims does this settlement NOT cover? 

Claims related to unsuitable indoor temperature were resolved separately in Hill v. Fashion Nova, a different Los Angeles case, and aren’t part of this release. Claims for wrongful termination, disability, workers’ compensation, or anything outside the Class Period also aren’t covered.

How is my individual payment calculated? 

The Net Settlement Amount is divided by everyone’s combined workweeks, then multiplied by your own workweeks. A separate $50,000 PAGA pool is divided the same way using pay periods instead.

Can I still object or opt out of the FN Logistics settlement?

 Yes, but only through October 26, 2026 according to the FAQ and Claim Form pages (the site’s Dates summary page shows a conflicting December 1 date for opt-outs — see the note above). After the earlier date, you’ll be bound by whatever the court decides at the December 1, 2026 final approval hearing.
