Who Is Gosiger and Why Are They Being Sued for Missing Pay Ranges?

Gosiger Machine Tools, LLC, which does business as Gosiger, posted job openings in Washington, and the lawsuit says those postings left out the pay information the state requires. That’s the whole case. The class covers anyone who applied for one of those Washington openings, so you never had to be hired, interviewed or even contacted to be included.

What Did Gosiger Do to Washington Job Applicants Between January 1, 2023 and August 17, 2026?

Plaintiff Shannon Spencer says Gosiger’s job postings for open Washington positions didn’t disclose the wage scale or salary range, which would violate RCW 49.58.110, Washington’s pay transparency law. Here’s the rule. Employers with 15 or more employees must put the wage scale or salary range, plus a general description of benefits and other compensation, in each posting (RCW 49.58.110).

A prevailing applicant can be awarded $100 to $5,000 per violation plus attorneys’ fees and costs, which is the kind of compensation for damages the statute spells out. Gosiger disputes all of it. The settlement website says the company “has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit” (settlement website), and the court hasn’t picked a winner.

Gosiger isn’t the first employer to settle one of these, and our guide, Splunk & Cisco $1.22M Settlement, Applied for a Splunk or Cisco Job in Washington? You Could Get $1,673, covers a similar King County case under the same law. Honestly, nobody files a claim here.

Who Qualifies for the Gosiger Pay Transparency Settlement?

Two things decide it. Here’s exactly how to check class action settlement eligibility and see if you’re part of the Gosiger settlement.

• Anyone who applied for a Gosiger job opening in Washington between January 1, 2023 and August 17, 2026
• People who saw a posting that left out the wage scale or salary range, or the general description of benefits and other compensation
• Those who got a Notice with a LoginID and PIN, since Gosiger’s records already list you

Who does not qualify:

• People who applied for Gosiger jobs outside Washington, or after August 17, 2026
• Applicants whose posting did disclose the required pay and benefits information
• Anyone who opts out by October 26, 2026

Think back. Did you hit “apply” on a Gosiger posting in Washington and never see a salary range?

Gosiger Washington Job Applicants Outside Washington — Are You Still Covered?

The class is built around job openings in the State of Washington, so where you live now isn’t the test, and an out-of-state address won’t keep you out. Applied to other Washington employers too? Our guide, Axon $8.5M Washington Job Applicant Settlement, Estimated $1,193 Per Person, March 2, 2026 Deadline, covers another one.

Not sure if you qualify for the Gosiger pay transparency settlement? Don’t guess. A free legal consultation with an employment discrimination attorney can help before the October 26, 2026 deadline.

How Much Can Gosiger Pay Transparency Settlement Class Members Get? An Estimated $1,841.27 Each

Equal shares, no tiers. Every Class Member who doesn’t opt out gets the same slice of the $241,500 fund, and the settlement website estimates it at $1,841.27. That sits inside the $100 to $5,000 per-violation range a winning applicant can be awarded in court, without anyone proving a thing at trial.

What Comes Out of the Gosiger Fund First

Class Counsel will ask the court for $80,500 in attorneys’ fees, which is exactly one-third of the fund, plus costs and expenses of up to $15,000 and a $15,000 service award for Plaintiff. That’s up to $110,500 of the $241,500 if the judge approves every dollar, though the court may award less. Final approval doesn’t depend on it.

The attorneys’ cut is normal. But it’s worth knowing before you decide whether a legal settlement payout this size is worth your attention, and it’s an estimate, so the final figure can move.

When and How Gosiger Pays

Payment comes by check or digital payment, but only after the court grants final approval and any appeals end, and checks void 180 days after issuance. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, and the settlement website says payments will be characterized as non-wage damages (1099), so check with a tax professional. No court approval, no check.

How to Get Your Gosiger Settlement Payment — Step by Step

⚠️ 23 days left to update your address or pick digital payment at gosigermachinetoolssettlement.com/form/claim.

1. Find your Notice. It carries your LoginID and PIN.
2. If your mailing address is right, do nothing. A check comes automatically once the settlement is final.
3. To switch to digital payment, log in at the payment selection page by October 26, 2026.
4. If your address or phone number changes at any time, tell the administrator at [email protected] or (888) 369-3780.
5. Lost your LoginID or PIN? Email the administrator your full name and mailing address.
6. Wait for the January 15, 2027 hearing. Payments follow approval and any appeals.

The only choice in the payment process is how you get paid, and the deadline to switch from a check to a digital payment is October 26, 2026. That’s 23 days from today. For something this short, waiting just means forgetting.

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

What Opting Out of the Gosiger Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means no payment. Mail a signed, dated letter with your full name, address and a statement that you want to be excluded, postmarked by October 26, 2026, to the Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 26170, Santa Ana, CA 92799, using the sample wording in Question 15 of the settlement FAQ. It’s the only way to keep your right to sue Gosiger over the same claims.

Timing matters, though. The statute gives three years from the date of the violation to file a civil action, so ask a lawyer whether applications from before late October 2023 are already out of time or whether the clock paused while this class action was pending.

How to Object to the Gosiger Settlement

You stay in the class. File a written objection with King County Superior Court, 516 Third Avenue, Room E-609, Seattle, WA 98104, and mail copies to Class Counsel at Emery Reddy, PC (600 Stewart Street, Suite 1100, Seattle, WA 98101) and Gosiger’s counsel at Sebris Busto James (15375 SE 30th Place, Suite 310, Bellevue, WA 98007), all postmarked by October 26, 2026. And here’s what trips people up: the objection must list your contact details, the reasons you object, whether you’ll appear at the hearing, and any other class settlement objections you or your lawyer filed in the last three years.

Don’t go it alone. Talk to a class action lawsuit attorney before October 26, 2026 if you’re considering either option.

Gosiger Pay Transparency Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 25-2-38795-0 KNT

Do I need a lawyer to get a Gosiger pay transparency settlement payment?

No. The court appointed Emery Reddy, PC of Seattle as Class Counsel, the settlement website says you won’t be charged for them, and your payment comes automatically if you do nothing. You’d only need your own lawyer to opt out or object.

Is the Gosiger pay transparency settlement legitimate?

King County Superior Court preliminarily approved it on August 17, 2026, and Judge Jessica M. Manca will hold the final approval hearing on January 15, 2027. The administrator is Simpluris, Inc., authorized by the court to send notice. Verify by calling (888) 369-3780.

When will Gosiger settlement payments be sent?

Not before the January 15, 2027 final approval hearing. If the judge approves the deal, your lawsuit settlement check goes out after all appeals and other reviews finish. Checks void 180 days after issuance.

What if I missed the Gosiger deadline?

There’s no claim deadline to miss. If you do nothing, you’re paid. October 26, 2026 is the deadline to opt out, object, update your address or choose digital payment, and missing the opt-out date binds you to the release, though address changes can be reported at any time.

Will my Gosiger settlement payment go on a 1099?

Probably. The settlement website says payments will be characterized as non-wage damages (1099), and the estimated $1,841.27 is above $600. Payments over $600 may appear on a 1099, so check with a tax professional about how to report it.

How do I get my Gosiger settlement payment?

You don’t file a claim. Class Members who do nothing are paid by check or digital payment. To switch to digital, log in at gosigermachinetoolssettlement.com/form/claim with the LoginID and PIN from your Notice by October 26, 2026.

How much will I get from the Gosiger settlement?

The settlement website estimates $1,841.27 per Class Member, an equal share of the Class Fund. Fees, costs and a service award of up to $110,500 are paid from the $241,500 fund. The final figure can still move.

Can Gosiger retaliate against me if I take the payment?

No. The settlement website says Gosiger supports the settlement and won’t retaliate against any Class Member. Your choice to participate, opt out or object won’t affect any application for employment with Gosiger or how it treats you as a current or former employee.

Mark October 26, 2026. If you’re weighing an opt-out or objection, that date is 23 days away, and the January 15, 2027 hearing is 104 days out.
