The ACV Auctions Washington job-postings settlement, which paid an estimated $1,722 to $5,000 to eligible applicants, is now closed — the June 29, 2026 claim deadline has passed.
What Was This Settlement About?
ACV Auctions Inc., ACV Capital LLC, and ACV Transportation LLC agreed to a settlement valued at up to $2.7 million to resolve a class action alleging that their job postings for open positions in Washington State did not disclose the wage scale, salary range, or benefits being offered. The lawsuit, Hill v. ACV Auctions Inc., et al., claimed those postings violated the pay transparency provision of the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58.110), which requires employers to include wage and benefit information in job advertisements.ACV denied any wrongdoing and contended that it complied with the law. It agreed to the settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation, without admitting liability. The case was pending in King County Superior Court in Washington. Important: the June 29, 2026 claim filing deadline has passed, so this settlement is now closed and no new claims can be filed.
Who Qualified?
According to the settlement, the class included individuals who applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with ACV Auctions Inc., ACV Capital LLC, or ACV Transportation LLC between January 1, 2023 and July 26, 2025 where the job posting did not disclose a wage scale, salary range, or benefits as required under RCW 49.58.110.Notices were sent to people identified in ACV's records as likely class members. This case was one of a wave of Washington pay-transparency settlements involving job applicants — others include the Target Washington job postings settlement, the Potbelly Washington pay transparency settlement, and the McDonald's (KTC LLC) Washington job postings settlement.
How Much Could You Get?
The settlement was valued at up to $2.7 million. Eligible class members who filed a valid claim were estimated to receive between about $1,722.43 and $5,000. The exact per-person amount depended on court-approved attorneys' fees and costs and the number of valid claims filed, so the final figure may have differed from the estimate.OpenClassActions.com does not provide tax advice; for questions about how a settlement payment affects your taxes, contact the IRS or a qualified tax professional.
