NNR Global Logistics BIPA Settlement

Ortega v. NNR Global Logistics USA, Inc.
Circuit Court Cook County (Chancery Div.)
Case No. 2021 CH 6337

If you scanned your hand on a hand-scan time clock while working at an NNR Global Logistics USA, Inc. facility in Illinois between December 16, 2021 and June 10, 2025, and did not first sign a consent form relating to the same, you may be entitled to benefits under a class action lawsuit.

A proposed settlement will provide $128,740.00 (the “Settlement Fund”) to settle and release claims of the following individuals:

All individuals who scanned their hands on a hand-scan time clock while employed by or working at an NNR facility in Illinois between December 21, 2016, and June 10, 2025 and who did not first sign a consent form relating to the same.

NNR denies Plaintiff’s allegations and deny any wrongdoing or violation of the law whatsoever. The Court has not ruled on the merits of Plaintiff’s claims or NNR’s defenses. By entering into the settlement, NNR has not conceded the truth or validity of any of the claims against it.

NNR has agreed to pay $128,740.00 (not less than $785.00 per Settlement Class Member), with no deductions (“Initial Settlement Award Checks”), to settle the claims of each member of the Settlement Class who does not exclude himself or herself from the Settlement. Any checks that are not cashed after the Initial Settlement Award Checks are distributed and the expiration date has passed will be distributed on a pro rata basis to those Settlement Class Members who cashed their Initial Settlement Award Checks (the “Subsequent Distribution”), so long as the amount to be distributed is at least $10.00 per class member after the costs of the Subsequent Distribution are taken into account. The Subsequent Distribution shall be made within thirty (30) days after the expiration date of the Initial Settlement Award Checks. If there is not enough money to pay at least $10.00 to each Settlement Class Member who cashed their initial Settlement Award check, or if any checks from the subsequent distribution remain uncashed after the stale date, those funds shall be distributed to the Chicago Bar Foundation as a charitable cy pres beneficiary, subject to court approval.
