The settlement will benefit current or former employees who scanned their fingerprint using Hyatt’s timekeeping system as a requirement for employment at participating locations. You may be eligible for a potential award from the Hyatt BIPA Class Action Lawsuit!
According to the class action, the plaintiffs allege the company used the fingerprint technology without complying with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). This law prohibits companies from capturing, obtaining, storing, transferring, or using biometric information (like fingerprints) for any purpose including timekeeping without providing written disclosures. The law also says written consent must be obtained before using the biometric information. So if you are eligible, file a claim by December 24, 2021 to receive your potential award!
