If you worked for Burroughs Inc. as a Technician, however variously titled, including as a Service Technician (collectively, “Technician”), you may be entitled to a payment from the settlement of a collective action arbitration if you complete and return a consent form.

An Arbitrator authorized this website. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

This notice pertains to any Burroughs Inc. (“Burroughs”) Technician employed by Burroughs in California from June 24, 2022 through June 24, 2026, and anywhere else in the United States or Puerto Rico at any time during June 24, 2023 through June 24, 2026 (the “Relevant Period”).

A former Technician known as the “Named Claimant” has filed a demand in arbitration against Burroughs as a collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). The arbitration is known as Rivera v. Burroughs Inc. The arbitration alleges that Burroughs failed to properly compensate Technicians for all hours worked over forty (40) hours per week as a result of time they allegedly worked prior to the start of the shift from home, during unpaid meal breaks, and after the end of the shift while off the clock and unpaid.

Burroughs denies the allegations in the arbitration, and maintains that it at all times properly compensated its Technicians. The parties have entered into this settlement solely with the intention to avoid further disputes and litigation with the attendant inconvenience and expense. The Arbitrator has not made any ruling on the merits of the Named Claimant’s claims, and no party has prevailed in this action.

Under the allocation formula created by the settlement, you may be eligible to receive a settlement payment, subject to deductions for applicable taxes. This amount is based on the number of weeks you worked as a Technician during the time period covered by this settlement, according to Burroughs’ records.

Your legal rights may be affected, and you have a choice to make now:

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

Basic Information

In a “Collective Action,” one or more people called “Named Claimants” sue on behalf of people who have similar claims. The other Technicians who have similar claims who opt in to the Collective Action will become “Collective Members.” You may opt in to the Collective Action and participate in the settlement of the arbitration by signing and returning the Consent to Join and Release Form.

Benefits – What You Get

Burroughs has agreed to pay up to $6,375,000.00 into a fund to pay Collective Members’ settlement payments (including Collective Members’ share of applicable federal, state and local taxes), Arbitrator-approved attorneys’ fees and costs of $2,581,025.11, Arbitrator-approved General Release Payments of up to $10,000.00 each to eight (8) General Release Payment Recipients, in exchange for full general releases of their individual claims only, and the fees and costs of the Settlement Claims Administrator, and applicable taxes.

After deducting the Arbitrator-approved attorneys’ fees and costs, the Arbitrator-approved General Release Payments, and the fees and costs of the Settlement Claims Administrator, the remaining amount will be divided among current and former Technicians who are covered by the settlement, based on the number of weeks they worked as Technicians during the period covered by the settlement. Settlement checks which are not cashed within 120 days of issuance will be null and void.

Based on the formula that has been approved by the Arbitrator, in exchange for properly executing and timely returning your Consent to Join and Release Form, you may be entitled to receive a settlement payment, half of which is subject to deductions for applicable taxes and withholdings like any other paycheck, and for which you will receive a W-2; and half of which will be reported on an IRS Form 1099.

The settlement allocation formula takes into account the number of weeks you worked as a Technician during the period covered by the settlement according to Burroughs’ records. The Settlement Agreement contains the exact allocation formula. You may obtain a copy of the Settlement Agreement by following the instructions in Paragraph 9, below.

To get your payment, you must fully complete the Consent to Join and Release Form and mail it to the Settlement Claims Administrator postmarked no later than September 13, 2026.

If you return a properly completed Consent to Join and Release Form to the Settlement Claims Administrator by the deadline, you will be sent a settlement check in approximately five (5) months. Please be patient.

The above notwithstanding, to the extent you are a California-based Technician and worked during the Relevant Period, you do not have to return a consent form to participate in the settlement. Rather, you will be mailed a settlement check and given an opportunity to participate in the settlement by cashing it or otherwise depositing your settlement check.

You will be sent a check within approximately five (5) months of submitting your Consent to Join and Release Form. Please be patient.

You will not become a member of the Collective Action and participate in the settlement unless you return a properly completed Consent to Join and Release Form by the deadline.

Specifically, you will release Burroughs and its current or former owners, officials, directors, officers, shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, employee benefit plans, plan administrators, representatives, servants, employees, former employees, attorneys, insurers, subsidiaries, parents, divisions, branches, units, successors, predecessors, and assigns (collectively the “Released Parties”) from: any and all wage and hour claims that accrued during your employment as a Technician, relating back to the full extent of the Relevant Period and continuing through the Arbitrator’s approval of the settlement, including, without limitation, all state and federal claims for minimum wages, unpaid or underpaid overtime wages, prompt pay-related claims, record-keeping or pay stub violations, and related claims for interest, liquidated damages, penalties, attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses.
