Wiz Inc. $5 Million Washington Job Applicant Settlement, Who Qualifies, No Claim Form Required, Payments and the November 23, 2026 Deadline

People who applied for a Washington job with Wiz, Inc. between January 1, 2023 and September 24, 2026 may be part of a proposed $5,000,000 class action settlement over job postings that allegedly did not disclose the required pay information. The case is Alexander Floyd v. Wiz, Inc., Case No. 25-2-09082-5 SEA, in King County Superior Court, Washington, before Judge Todd D. Tinker.

No claim form is required. Wiz’s records were used to identify class members, and anyone who stays in the class and does not opt out is eligible for an equal share of the fund if the court grants final approval. November 23, 2026 is the deadline to update your payment details, request exclusion or object. Wiz denies violating the law, and the court has not decided who is right.

Why Is Wiz Paying $5 Million Under Washington’s Job Posting Law?

Plaintiff Alexander Floyd claims Wiz violated RCW 49.58.110 by not disclosing the wage scale or salary range on job postings for open positions. The statute also calls for a general description of benefits and other compensation. Wiz denies it violated Washington law or can be held liable. The settlement website says both sides agreed to settle to avoid the uncertainty, risk and expense of continued litigation, and that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. The court has not decided whether Floyd or Wiz should win.

Who Qualifies for the Wiz Washington Job Applicant Settlement?

According to the settlement FAQ, Wiz’s records show you are in the Settlement Class if you applied for at least one job opening in Washington with Wiz, Inc. between January 1, 2023 and September 24, 2026, in response to a posting that the plaintiff claims did not properly disclose the wage scale or salary range. The notice-based class definition in our research also refers to postings missing a general description of benefits and other compensation. Check the notice for the exact wording.

  • You do not need to have been hired. The published definition concerns applicants, not employees.
  • Residency. The definition focuses on a Washington job opening. It does not expressly require that you live in Washington. If you applied from another state, ask the administrator whether you are included.
  • Multiple applications. The FAQ describes an equal share of the Common Fund for each Settlement Class Member, not a payment per application.
  • Not sure? Contact Simpluris at (888) 836-1293 or [email protected].

How Much Will Each Wiz Settlement Class Member Receive?

The administrator has not published a fixed per-person amount. Under the settlement, class members who do not exclude themselves split the Common Fund equally after court-approved deductions. Do not assume you will receive $5 million divided by anything. Class Counsel will ask the court to approve:

Requested from the fundAmount
Attorneys’ fees$1,666,666.67
Attorneys’ costs and expensesUp to $10,000.00
Service award to Alexander Floyd$25,000.00
Settlement administrationPaid from the fund

The judge decides the final amounts and may award less. Final approval does not depend on those amounts. Payments are characterized as non-wage damages and reported on Form 1099, so ask a tax professional about your own situation.

Do I Need to File a Claim Form for the Wiz Settlement?

No. If you did not exclude yourself and the court approves the settlement, you will receive a payment electronically or by mail. To make sure it reaches you:

  1. Check that the administrator has your current mailing address.
  2. Use the LoginID and PIN printed on your notice to open the payment selection page and choose digital payment, if you prefer it. The deadline for that choice is November 23, 2026.
  3. Or send the Address Form that came with your notice by mail, email or the online form.

Mail: Alexander Floyd v. Wiz, Inc., c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 26170, Santa Ana, CA 92799. Phone: (888) 836-1293. Email: [email protected].

If the administrator has no valid address, you may not receive your payment. Settlement checks expire and become void 180 days after issuance.

What Are Your Options Before the November 23, 2026 Deadline?

Do nothing. You stay in the Settlement Class, can receive a payment if the court approves and your address is valid, and are bound by the court’s orders and the release. You cannot sue Wiz or the other released parties over the claims resolved in this settlement.

Exclude yourself. Send a letter postmarked by November 23, 2026 to the administrator at the address above, with your full name, address, a statement that you want to be excluded from the settlement in Alexander Floyd v. Wiz, Inc., and your (or your attorney’s) signature and date. You cannot opt out by phone or email, each person must send their own request, and group requests are not allowed. You get no payment and keep the right to sue Wiz separately on these claims.

Object. If you stay in the class, you can object by filing a written objection with the court by November 23, 2026 at King County Superior Court, 516 Third Avenue, Room C-203, Seattle, WA 98104, and mailing copies (postmarked by that date) to Class Counsel and Wiz’s attorneys at Littler Mendelson, P.C. A valid objection must include the details listed in FAQ #18, so read it first. Objecting does not remove you from the class, and you can still be paid if the settlement is approved.

What Claims Do You Release in the Wiz Settlement?

If the court approves the settlement and you do not opt out, the lawsuit is dismissed with prejudice. You release Wiz and the other Released Parties, as defined in Paragraph 20 of the Settlement Agreement, from the claims asserted in Floyd’s complaint for the period January 1, 2023 through the preliminary-approval date, under any state, federal or local law. This applies even if you never choose a payment method. Participating does not waive claims outside the release. Wiz has said it will not retaliate against anyone for participating, objecting or opting out.

When Is the Wiz Settlement Final Approval Hearing?

Date and time: January 22, 2027 at 9:00 a.m. Place: King County Courthouse, 516 Third Avenue, Room W-921, Seattle, WA 98104, before Judge Todd D. Tinker. A Zoom option is available through the link on the settlement FAQ (Meeting ID 817 1130 5655).

The court will decide whether the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate and consider objections, including to the fees and service award. You do not have to attend. The hearing date can change by court order, so check the settlement website.

Who Are the Class Lawyers in the Wiz Settlement?

The court appointed Timothy Emery, Patrick B. Reddy and Paul Cipriani of Emery Reddy, PC as Class Counsel: 600 Stewart Street, Suite 1100, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 442-9106. You do not have to hire your own lawyer, and you are not charged for Class Counsel.

What Does Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58.110) Require?

Since January 1, 2023, covered Washington employers must include in job postings the wage scale or salary range, or the fixed wage if only one is offered, and a general description of benefits and other compensation. The requirement applies to employers with 15 or more employees and covers electronic postings, including ones distributed through third parties.

Washington amended the statute in 2025 to add a correction opportunity: for postings between July 27, 2025 and July 27, 2027, an employer that fixes a posting within five business days of written notice, and meets other statutory conditions, cannot be assessed penalties or damages for that violation. That provision does not change who is in this settlement class, which is governed by the approved settlement documents. Read the statute directly to confirm the current text.
