What Changed Recently?
The settlement administrator began sending the court-approved notice in October 2026 (the notice carries a mailing date of October 13, 2026), which opened a 60-day window to file a claim, request exclusion or object. The settlement resolves a proposed class action filed February 3, 2025 in King County Superior Court. The plaintiff claimed that Quadrant Technologies LLC’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation, which Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, RCW 49.58.110, requires of employers with 15 or more employees.Quadrant Technologies disputes the claims, denies any liability or wrongdoing, and contends it has not violated any law. The court has not decided which side is right, and the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. Under the settlement agreement, Quadrant’s insurance company will pay the $900,000 on its behalf from the remaining limit of an eroding employment practices liability insurance policy.
Who Qualifies?
The court provisionally certified a settlement class of the plaintiff and all individuals who, from January 1, 2023 through July 26, 2025, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with Quadrant Technologies, where the job posting did not disclose a wage scale or salary range and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation to be offered to a hired applicant. Anyone who submits a valid request for exclusion is not part of the class.Class members were identified from Quadrant’s application records, and the notice went to the people on that list. Quadrant represented in the settlement agreement that there could be as many as 35,000 applicants in the class, while stating its belief that the number entitled to damages is smaller because some applications were automated and others were duplicates. Every claim goes through a verification process.
The class period ends July 26, 2025. Under the current text of RCW 49.58.110, for postings from July 27, 2025 through July 27, 2027 an employer must be given an opportunity to correct a noncompliant posting before an applicant may seek remedies. Other Washington job posting settlements are collected on the Washington pay transparency settlements page.
How Much Can You Get?
The court-approved notice estimates a payment of $17.93 per person. That is an estimate, not a guaranteed amount.The $900,000 settlement fund first covers attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of $225,000, a $15,000 service award for the class representative, and settlement administration costs capped at $80,000. The remainder, the net settlement fund, is divided in equal shares among class members who submit a timely, valid claim form, up to a maximum of $5,000 per person. Because only valid claimants share the net fund, the final amount depends on how many valid claims are filed. Any amount left over after payments and costs goes to the Legal Foundation of Washington, not back to Quadrant.
The preliminary approval order set the fee and service award figures above, and the notice says the court will decide the final amounts at the fairness hearing and may award less. The settlement agreement had allowed class counsel to request up to $300,000 and a $20,000 service award; the order and the notice use the lower figures. Under the agreement, any amount the court does not award to counsel or the class representative is added to the net fund, unless class counsel appeals the lower award.
Payments are mailed as checks after final approval and after any appeals are resolved. Checks expire 180 days after they are issued.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
Proof Required: Yes. The online claim form on the settlement website opens on a login screen that requires a LoginID and a PIN, both printed on the notice, and the form does not continue without them. No receipts, pay records or copies of job postings are required.The notice also says the claim form enclosed with it can be returned to the settlement administrator by mail or email instead of being filed online. The settlement website says people who cannot locate their LoginID and PIN can request them from the administrator by providing their full name and mailing address; contact options are on the official website’s contact page. The administrator may request additional information while verifying a claim.
What Is the Deadline?
Claim forms must be submitted online or by email, or postmarked if mailed, on or before December 14, 2026. December 14, 2026 is also the deadline to request exclusion, which must be done by a mailed letter postmarked by that date, and to file a written objection with the court. Neither the notice nor the settlement website names a time zone.Under the settlement agreement, when a mailed notice is returned as undeliverable and re-mailed, that class member has the later of the original deadline or 30 days from the re-mailing. A claim submitted after the 60-day notice period is considered only at Quadrant’s discretion.
How Do You Take Action?
Claims are filed on the official Quadrant Technologies settlement website under “Submit a Claim,” using the LoginID and PIN from the notice. The paper claim form sent with the notice can be mailed or emailed to the administrator instead.A request for exclusion must include the class member’s full name, address, a statement asking to be excluded from the settlement in Floyd v. Quadrant Technologies LLC, and a signature and date. Exclusion requests cannot be made by phone or email, and group requests are not accepted. People who exclude themselves receive no payment and keep any right to sue Quadrant over the same claims.
An objection must be in writing, filed with King County Superior Court and mailed to class counsel and Quadrant’s counsel by December 14, 2026; the notice lists everything an objection must contain. Class members who do nothing stay in the class, receive no payment and release the claims covered by the settlement.
What Happens Next?
Judge Schubert will hold the final approval hearing on January 14, 2027 at 1:00 p.m. at the King County Courthouse in Seattle. The notice says the hearing can also be attended remotely by Zoom, with the link posted on the settlement website, and that the date and time can change by court order.If the court grants final approval and no appeal is filed, the schedule in the preliminary approval order makes the settlement effective 31 days after the final approval order, has the fund paid 30 days after that, and sends payments 14 days after funding. The court has not ruled on final approval, and no payment date had been announced as of October 24, 2026.

Questions
Why is the Quadrant Technologies settlement estimate only $17.93?
The $900,000 fund first pays attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, a service award and administration costs of up to $80,000, and the rest is divided equally among class members who file valid claims. Quadrant told the court the class could include as many as 35,000 applicants. The $17.93 figure is the notice’s estimate; the final share depends on how many valid claims are filed and is capped at $5,000.
Who is paying the Quadrant Technologies settlement?
Quadrant Technologies’ insurance company is paying the $900,000 on the company’s behalf, from the remaining limit of an eroding employment practices liability policy, according to the settlement agreement. No money is paid until after the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.
Can Quadrant Technologies retaliate against applicants who file a claim?
The court-approved notice states that Quadrant supports the settlement and will not retaliate against any class member for participating, not participating or objecting, and that the decision will not affect any job application with Quadrant or its treatment of current or former employees.
What happens to Quadrant settlement checks that are never cashed?
Checks expire 180 days after they are issued. Under the settlement agreement, the money from uncashed checks is sent to the State of Washington’s unclaimed property program in the class member’s name, rather than back to Quadrant.
What if a Quadrant Technologies applicant did not receive a notice?
The class list comes from Quadrant’s application records. The settlement website says people who cannot find their LoginID and PIN can request them from the settlement administrator by giving their full name and mailing address. Under the agreement, a dispute about being left off the class list must be raised within 60 days of the notice mailing, and Quadrant’s records control unless the person has documents showing they belong in the class.
