Washington & Oregon Employment Class Settlement Benchmarks

Every approved employment class action settlement we can find in Washington and Oregon is going in our dataset: class sizes, fee awards, approval timelines, and what judges actually change. Currently, we are adding more cases every day. Filter it to match your case.

Fee awards as a share of the fund

How settlements are structured

Count of settlements by fund structure, split by case type. Wage and hour deals are almost always common funds. Pay transparency deals skew claims-made.

Class size and per-member recovery

Gross fund per class member
Class size

Preliminary to final approval

How often do judges change the deal?

Substantive modifications to the requested terms: fees, service awards, notice.

By judge

Judges are anonymized on this page. Letters are consistent: Judge A is always the same person. Judges with one qualifying case are grouped under “Others.”

Is your case in here?

Search by case name, like Smith v. Acme.

No two cases are exactly the same, but actual results are a helpful guide. Gillette Mediation can help you resolve your case with the power of data. The named, case-level version of these benchmarks informs every mediation: which judge cuts fees, which venue moves fastest for your case type, and the citations behind every number. We update our database monthly to ensure we have the most recent information about settlements.
