TO: All individuals who are or were employed in any Laboratory Corporation of America facility in Washington State, including Pathology Associates Medical Laboratories and Dynacare, Inc., (collectively “Labcorp”) in positions paid on an hourly basis at any time between August 30, 2020, and November 30, 2024.
A settlement in a class action lawsuit has been reached and you may be entitled to payment from the settlement. You must submit a valid and timely Claim Form to receive a payment.
An employee brought claims against Laboratory Corporation of America, Heather D. Bellamy,
and Breanne E. Washington alleging that Labcorp failed to provide meal and rest periods
in compliance with Washington law. Labcorp strongly denies these claims. The parties have
reached a proposed Class Action Settlement.
Labcorp strongly denies any fault, wrongdoing, or liability. If the Parties had not
reached a Settlement, Labcorp would have continued to vigorously defend against
Plaintiff’s claims, including seeking a denial of class certification and a full
defense verdict at trial. Labcorp agreed to this Settlement to avoid the risk, burden,
and expense of further litigation, and as a means of making its employees whole for even
any arguable claims relating to the lawsuit.
The Class Action Settlement includes a total maximum settlement payment by Labcorp of Nine
Million Dollars ($9,000,000).
To qualify for a share of the settlement fund, you must have been employed in a Labcorp
facility in Washington state in a position paid on an hourly basis at some time between
August 30, 2020, and November 30, 2024.
