A Court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

    1. Complete the Claim Form and mail it back to the Settlement Administrator by April 14, 2025. The Claim Form may be downloaded from the Note page on this website.

    2. Object to the Settlement;

These rights and options – and the deadlines to exercise them – are explained in the notice.

Object(No Later than April 21, 2025)

This lawsuit alleges that JRN violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA” or “the Act”), 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. Williams alleges that JRN violated BIPA by collecting biometric information from employees using a finger-scan timekeeping system, without obtaining prior express consent or informing said employees that their biometric information was being collected.

JRN denies that it violated any law and maintains that it could have asserted several successful defenses.

The Court has not determined who is right at this time. Rather, the Parties have reached a settlement.

If you received a Notice and Claim Form in the mail, JRN’s records indicate that you are a Settlement Class Member.
