What Is the Store Space Lawsuit About? Knox et al. v. Real Capital Leasing, LLC d/b/a Store Space Self Storage, No. CACE26004025

If you were a Store Manager or Assistant Store Manager at Store Space, you know the job does not always end when the shift ends. Four named plaintiffs — Kendra Knox, Jda Lee, Antonio McNeal-Griffin, and Melissa Westcott — say that Store Space required them to perform work while not logged in to the company’s timekeeping system, which meant those hours were never recorded and never paid.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. § 201 et seq., employers must pay non-exempt employees at one-and-a-half times their regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a workweek. The FLSA is the federal law that sets minimum wage and overtime protections for workers across the United States. The complaint alleges Store Space violated this law by failing to capture and compensate all hours their store managers actually worked.

The parties went through pre-suit mediation on August 21, 2024, with mediator Robyn S. Hankins, Esq., and more than a year of post-mediation negotiations before reaching this agreement. If you are a current or former store manager who regularly worked beyond your scheduled shift to complete tasks — opening or closing duties, handling tenant issues, or completing paperwork — this case was built around your experience. Our guide on how to file a wage and hour complaint explains the broader FLSA protections that apply to workers in situations like this.

Who Qualifies for the Store Space Self Storage Settlement?

Here is how to know if this settlement covers you. The class in this case is narrower than most — it is limited to a specific job title, specific states, and a specific time window.

You may qualify if:

• You worked as a Store Manager or Assistant Store Manager at Store Space Self Storage (however that title was styled by the company) at any point between October 15, 2022 and October 14, 2025
• You worked at a Store Space location in Florida, Texas, or Store Space’s New England Division
• You received a Notice Packet from CAC Services Group by mail or email — your individual estimated payment amount is included in that packet

You do NOT qualify if:

• You worked as a Store Manager at Store Space outside of Florida, Texas, or the New England Division
• You worked at Store Space only in a non-managerial role (e.g., customer service associate without a Store Manager title)
• You worked entirely outside the October 15, 2022 – October 14, 2025 window (unless you are one of the four named plaintiffs, whose covered period extends back to April 1, 2021)

Your individual unpaid wages lawsuit payout is calculated based on how many workweeks you were employed as a Store Manager during the covered period — more weeks means a proportionally larger share of the net fund. Store Space’s own payroll records control the workweek count.

This case follows a pattern of similar employment class action settlement cases against storage and retail companies. We also covered the $700K Dynatrace overtime settlement for off-the-clock employees in a comparable situation.

How Much Can You Get from the Store Space Settlement?

The $360,000 gross fund is not all yours to split. Here is how the money flows before it reaches your pocket.

From the $360,000, the court will first approve deductions for: attorney fees of up to one-third of the gross fund (up to $120,000); litigation costs of up to $7,500; general release payments of $4,000 to each of the four named plaintiffs ($16,000 total); and the settlement administrator’s fees. What remains after those deductions is the “Net Fund” — the amount available to eligible claimants.

Your individual payment is calculated by dividing your workweeks during the covered period by the total workweeks of all participating claimants. The more weeks you worked relative to the entire group, the higher your payment. Your specific estimated amount is printed in your Notice Packet from CAC Services Group. If you have not received a Notice Packet and believe you qualify, contact the administrator directly at storespacesettlement.com.

Important on taxes: 50% of your payment will be treated as wages and reported on a W-2 with applicable tax withholding. The other 50% is treated as liquidated damages and reported on a 1099-MISC — paid without withholding, but potentially taxable income. Consult a tax advisor if you have questions about how your payment will affect your return.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to file a Store Space settlement claim?

No. The process is straightforward — complete the Consent to Join and Release Form from your Notice Packet and submit it before July 6, 2026, online at storespacesettlement.com, by email, or by mail. CAC Services Group, the settlement administrator, handles all processing without any legal representation required.

Is this settlement legitimate?

Yes. Knox et al. v. Real Capital Leasing, LLC d/b/a Store Space Self Storage, No. CACE26004025, was filed in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in Broward County, Florida. The settlement administrator is CAC Services Group, a licensed third-party claims administrator. The official settlement website is storespacesettlement.com.

When will I receive my Store Space settlement check?

TBD — payment will be issued after the claim period closes on July 6, 2026, all cure and re-mailing periods end, and the court has issued its final approval order. Once checks are mailed, you have 90 days to cash yours before it is voided.

What if I missed the July 6, 2026 claim deadline?

Under the settlement agreement, no claim submitted more than 60 days after the applicable deadline will be accepted. If you have a documented reason for a late submission — such as not receiving your Notice Packet — contact CAC Services Group directly. The parties may consider late claims with a good-faith explanation, but that is not guaranteed.

Will my Store Space settlement payment affect my taxes?

Yes, likely. Half of your payment is treated as wages and will come with tax withholding, reported on a W-2. The other half is treated as liquidated damages and reported on a 1099-MISC without withholding, but it may still be taxable. A tax advisor can tell you how this affects your specific situation.

What does “off the clock” mean in this lawsuit, and why does it matter?

Working “off the clock” means performing job duties while not logged into the employer’s timekeeping system — so those hours are never recorded or paid. Under the FLSA, all hours worked must be compensated, including off-the-clock work the employer knew about or should have known about. The complaint alleges Store Space’s timekeeping system failed to capture all hours store managers actually worked, resulting in missed overtime compensation for weeks over 40 hours.

I worked in another state — can I still file?

Only if you worked in Florida, Texas, or Store Space’s New England Division during the covered period. The settlement does not cover Store Space employees in other states. If you worked in another state and believe you are owed unpaid overtime, consult an employment discrimination attorney or wage-and-hour attorney about your individual options under applicable state law.
