Veeam Management $367,500 Settlement, Applied for a Veeam Job in Washington? You Could Claim Up to $5,000 Before May 29

A job applicant named John Milito sued Veeam Management LLC and Veeam Vaas Corp. in King County Superior Court, Washington, alleging both companies posted open positions without disclosing salary ranges — a direct violation of Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. Veeam denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle. If you applied for a Veeam role in Washington any time after January 1, 2023, you may have 58 days left to collect your share.

Washington Said Employers Must Post Salary Ranges. Veeam Allegedly Didn’t.

Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (EPOA) went into effect on January 1, 2023. The law requires any employer with 15 or more employees to include a wage scale or salary range — plus a general description of benefits — in every job posting for a Washington position.

The idea behind the law is straightforward: job seekers deserve to know what a role pays before they invest hours applying, preparing for interviews, and negotiating. Without that information, workers — especially women and people in historically underpaid groups — enter salary conversations at a disadvantage.

Plaintiff John Milito alleged that Veeam Management LLC and Veeam Vaas Corp. skipped that disclosure entirely on certain Washington job postings. The lawsuit, John Milito v. Veeam Management LLC, Case No. 25-2-21691-8 SEA, was filed in King County Superior Court. Both companies deny any violation and contest the merits of the claims, but agreed to settle rather than face the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation.

You Applied Between 2023 and Early 2026 — Here’s Whether That Qualifies You

This settlement covers a small, defined group of people. Simpluris Inc., the settlement administrator, has already identified 147 individuals who meet the criteria.

• You may qualify if you applied for a job opening with Veeam Management LLC or Veeam Vaas Corp.
• You may qualify if you submitted that application between January 1, 2023, and March 2, 2026.
• You may qualify if the job posting you responded to did not include a wage scale, salary range, or general description of benefits.
• You do not need to have been hired, interviewed, or even contacted by Veeam to be eligible.
• You must have applied for a position in the state of Washington (or a role that could be performed in Washington).

If you received a mailed or emailed settlement notice, you are almost certainly in the class. If you didn’t receive a notice but believe you applied during this window, contact Simpluris at 833-215-5915 or [email protected] to verify your eligibility.

The Payout Isn’t Fixed — It Depends on How Many People File

This settlement uses a sliding-scale structure, which means your individual check grows smaller as more people file valid claims.

The minimum fund is $261,184.38. The maximum fund is $367,500. Every eligible person gets an equal share of whatever the net fund turns out to be, capped at $5,000 per person.

Here’s how the math works:

• If 74 or fewer of the 147 class members file claims (roughly 50%), the fund stays at the $261,184.38 minimum. Any leftover funds after payments go to the Legal Foundation of Washington as a cy pres donation.
• For each additional claimant beyond 74, Veeam adds $1,456.37 to the pot — up to the $367,500 cap.
• At maximum participation (all 147 file), the fund hits $367,500 and each person’s equal share works out to roughly $2,500 before deductions.

Deductions come off the top before class members receive anything. The settlement accounts for up to $20,000 in administration costs, $108,413 in attorneys’ fees, up to $5,000 in litigation expenses, and a $20,000 service award to John Milito as the class representative.

One important tax note: Simpluris will classify all payments as nonwage damages and will report them on IRS Form 1099. You should set aside a portion for taxes if your payment is significant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer to file a claim?

 No. Filing a claim is free and takes about five minutes at epoasettlementvmllc.com. You don’t need an attorney to participate. Class counsel already negotiated the settlement on behalf of all class members.

Is this settlement legitimate?

 Yes. The case is John Milito v. Veeam Management LLC, Case No. 25-2-21691-8 SEA, filed in King County Superior Court, Washington. The settlement administrator, Simpluris Inc., is a nationally recognized third-party claims administrator. The official settlement website is epoasettlementvmllc.com.

When will I receive my payment?

 Simpluris will mail checks after the court grants final approval on or after July 10, 2026, and after it resolves any appeals. Exact timing depends on whether anyone appeals the settlement.

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 The deadline is May 29, 2026. If that date has passed when you read this, you generally cannot receive a payment from this settlement. You may still contact Simpluris to confirm your status, but courts rarely reopen claim periods.

Will this settlement payment affect my taxes? 

Yes, likely. Simpluris will report payments as nonwage damages on IRS Form 1099. If your payment exceeds $600, you should expect a 1099 form and may owe federal and state income taxes on the amount. Consult a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

I didn’t get a notice but I think I applied for a Veeam job in Washington. Can I still file?

 Possibly. Simpluris identified 147 people based on Veeam’s records. If you believe you applied during the class period but weren’t notified, contact Simpluris directly at 833-215-5915 or [email protected] and provide your name, address, and details about your application.

Is Veeam the only company facing this kind of lawsuit in Washington?

 No. Washington’s EPOA has triggered dozens of similar class actions against employers since 2023, including cases against Target, Snowflake, and other companies for the same alleged failure to post salary ranges. This Veeam settlement is one of several active resolutions under the same law.
