What Changed Recently?
The settlement is new. In Spencer v. CompuCom Systems, Inc., a job applicant claimed that CompuCom’s postings for open Washington positions did not list a wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits, as Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58.110) requires. The complaint was filed in King County Superior Court in February 2025. The case was then paused while the Washington Supreme Court answered a certified question about the same law in Branson v. Washington Fine Wine & Spirits, and it resumed after that decision became final in September 2025.CompuCom, an IT services company, agreed to pay $1,000,000 to resolve the case. It denies the claims, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. Judge Ken Schubert granted preliminary approval on September 16, 2026.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class covers people who, from January 1, 2023 through September 16, 2026, applied for a CompuCom Systems job opening in Washington State where the job posting did not disclose a wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation.Class membership comes from CompuCom’s own applicant records. People who received the mailed or emailed notice are, according to those records, members of the class. Anyone who opts out by November 13, 2026 is no longer in the class and receives nothing from the settlement.
How Much Can You Get?
The settlement website estimates each class member’s payment at $266.67. Every class member who stays in receives an equal share of the “class fund,” which is the $1,000,000 total minus the amounts the court approves for other uses:- Attorneys’ fees of up to $250,000 plus up to $5,000 in litigation costs, which class counsel says it will request
- A $15,000 service award for the named plaintiff, also subject to court approval
- Settlement administration costs, capped at $30,000 under the settlement agreement
The settlement agreement says CompuCom identified 2,626 class members. Any amount the court declines to award for fees, costs or the service award, and any money from people who opt out, goes back into the class fund and is shared among the remaining class members. The $266.67 figure is an estimate, and the final amount can change.
For context, the original complaint sought $5,000 in statutory damages for each class member under RCW 49.58.070. The settlement replaces those claims with the equal-share payment.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
None, because there is nothing to file. This is an automatic-payment settlement: if the court grants final approval, each class member who did not opt out is mailed a check at the address the administrator has on file.The settlement website has an optional address-update and payment-selection form. It requires the LoginID and PIN printed on each person’s notice, but it is used only to change a mailing address or switch from a paper check to an electronic payment. A class member who never uses the form is still paid.
What Is the Deadline?
There is no claim deadline. The dates that matter are:- November 13, 2026 — deadline to opt out, to object, and to submit an address update or electronic payment selection
- January 15, 2027, at 11:30 a.m. — final approval hearing before Judge Ken Schubert, with remote attendance available
The settlement website lists only dates for these deadlines and does not state a time zone.
How Do You Take Action?
Class members do not need to do anything to be paid. The CompuCom Settlement website explains the options: updating an address or choosing an electronic payment through the online form, requesting exclusion, or objecting in writing. The notice describes what an exclusion request or objection must include. A person who opts out keeps any right to bring their own claim against CompuCom over the same job postings; a person who stays in gives up that right in exchange for the settlement payment.What Happens Next?
The court will decide whether to grant final approval, and how much to award in fees, costs and the service award, at the January 15, 2027 hearing. If the settlement is approved and no appeal is filed, the administrator mails payments. The settlement website says checks become void 180 days after they are issued. No payment date has been announced.Official Class Notice (PDF)

Questions
Do CompuCom job applicants have to file a claim?
No. Class members are identified from CompuCom’s own applicant records, and if the court grants final approval, each class member who did not opt out is mailed a check. The settlement website’s address and payment form is optional and is only used to update a mailing address or choose an electronic payment instead of a check.
How much is the CompuCom settlement payment?
The settlement website estimates each class member’s share at $266.67. Every class member who stays in the settlement receives an equal share of what remains of the $1,000,000 fund after court-approved attorneys’ fees and costs, a service award and administration costs. The final figure depends on what the court approves.
Which CompuCom applicants are in the settlement class?
The class covers people who applied for a CompuCom Systems job opening in Washington State from January 1, 2023 through September 16, 2026, where the job posting did not include a wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation.
When will CompuCom settlement checks be mailed?
Not before the final approval hearing on January 15, 2027. Payments go out only after the court grants final approval and any appeals are resolved. The settlement website says checks become void 180 days after they are issued.
Did CompuCom admit it broke Washington law?
No. CompuCom denies the claims and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. The court has not decided whether CompuCom violated the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act.
