If you were employed by Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. in California at any time during the period from November 15, 2018, to June 9, 2025 (the “Settlement Period”), you may be a Class Member eligible to receive money from a proposed settlement in the above-captioned class action lawsuit.

Under the proposed Settlement, Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. (“Defendant”) agrees to make payments to Class Members who do not opt out of the Settlement. These Class Settlement Awards will be based on the number of Pay Periods during the Settlement Period that each Settlement Class Member was employed by Defendant in California for at least one day compared to the total number of Pay Periods for all Settlement Class Members, as more fully described on the Notice. PLEASE READ THE NOTICE CAREFULLY. The Notice relates to the proposed Settlement. If you are a Class Member, it contains important information affecting your rights to participate in the Settlement. The Notice advises you of the terms of the Settlement and your rights and options under it.

To be eligible for your share of the Settlement, you are not required to make a claim. However, to ensure receipt of your share, you must update the Settlement Administrator, Epiq Class Action and Claims Solutions, Inc., with any change of address.
