This settlement resolved Fair Labor Standards Act claims that Store Space Self Storage (Real Capital Leasing) owed its Store Managers and Assistant Store Managers unpaid overtime for off-the-clock work. It is now closed — the July 6, 2026 deadline to join the opt-in collective has passed. Here is what it covered.
What Was the Store Space Self Storage Overtime Settlement?
This class action settlement resolved allegations that Store Space Self Storage — operated by Real Capital Leasing, LLC — violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) by failing to pay Store Managers and Assistant Store Managers the overtime they were owed. The complaint alleged these managers performed work off the clock while not logged into the company’s timekeeping system, and were not paid time-and-a-half for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Store Space denied the allegations and any wrongdoing, agreeing to settle only to avoid the cost and disruption of continued litigation. The case is captioned Knox, et al. v. Real Capital Leasing, LLC d/b/a Store Space Self Storage.It is now closed. This was an FLSA opt-in collective action, so eligible managers had to affirmatively join by submitting a Consent to Join form; the deadline to do so was July 6, 2026 and has passed. No new class members can join. Here is what the settlement covered.

Who Was Covered?
The FLSA collective covered current and former Store Managers and Assistant Store Managers (however titled) of Real Capital Leasing, LLC, doing business as Store Space Self Storage, who worked in Florida, Texas, or the company’s New England Division between October 15, 2022 and October 14, 2025.Eligibility was determined by Store Space’s own employment records. Because this was an opt-in collective action rather than an automatic class, only managers who received a Notice Packet and submitted a signed Consent to Join form shared in the fund.
What Did the Settlement Provide?
The settlement established a $360,000 fund. Managers who opted in became qualified claimants and received a pro rata share calculated on a points system:• Points by workweek: each claimant earned one point for every eligible workweek worked as a Store Manager or Assistant Store Manager during the covered period.
• Pro rata payment: each claimant’s points were divided by the total points of all claimants to set their share of the net fund, so managers who worked more weeks received proportionally larger payments.
• 90-day check window: settlement checks were void 90 days after the date they were issued.
The gross fund was reduced by court-approved attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, administration costs, and any service awards before the remainder was distributed to claimants. Store Space denied any wrongdoing or liability as part of the settlement.
Why Was the Lawsuit Filed?
The lawsuit alleged that Store Space Self Storage violated the FLSA by not paying Store Managers and Assistant Store Managers for all hours worked. According to the complaint, these managers regularly performed work while not logged into the company’s timekeeping system and were owed overtime — time-and-a-half — for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Store Space denied the allegations and did not admit liability in agreeing to the settlement.How the Opt-In Worked — and Why It’s Now Closed
Unlike a consumer class action, where people are included automatically unless they opt out, an FLSA collective action requires eligible workers to affirmatively opt in:• Notice Packet: the Settlement Claims Administrator, CAC Services Group, LLC, mailed each eligible manager a Notice Packet stating their estimated payment.
• Consent to Join: to be paid, a manager had to submit the online consent using the eight-digit claim number and password printed on that mailed Notice Packet.
• Deadline: the deadline to submit the Consent to Join was July 6, 2026.
Because that opt-in deadline has passed, the collective is closed and no additional managers can join. Managers who submitted a timely, valid consent were included as qualified claimants.
