ITS Technologies Biometric Timeclock Settlement: Who Can Claim

The stated time period is September 8, 2017, through August 29, 2024. Being included in the class does not itself provide a payment; a valid and timely claim is also required.

• You must have worked for ITS in Illinois and fit the notice’s core description of a person who used a partial-handprint or fingerprint timeclock during the stated period.
• The notice excludes people who opt out, certain court personnel and their immediate families, people who previously released these claims, and people whose jobs were governed by a collective bargaining agreement.
• The notice uses broader wording in its formal class definition—“other biometric information”—without explaining whether that adds people beyond the timeclock-scan group. This unresolved scope issue is noted above.

The notice does not state the total amount of the Settlement Fund. It also says that court-awarded attorneys’ fees, costs, and any incentive award to the class representative come from that fund.

• The payment is described as approximately $964.48 per eligible class member.
• It is not a guaranteed fixed amount. The administrator will calculate the final amount, and it may change based on expenses paid from the Settlement Fund.
• A claimant must submit an approved claim, remain in the class, and otherwise qualify.

The supplied notice directs claimants to submit a mailed form with a postmark deadline, but it does not state a claim-form mailing address in its text. Use the instructions on the Claim Form or request a paper copy from the Settlement Administrator.

• Submit a timely, properly completed Claim Form.
• The claim must be postmarked by December 4, 2026.
• The notice says class members should have received a Claim Form by mail. If you did not receive one but believe you are in the class, you may call (833) 200-6678 to request a paper copy.

• A completed, valid, and timely Claim Form is required.
• The notice does not identify documents that must be attached to prove eligibility or losses.
• Because the notice does not expressly say that no documents will be needed, its document requirement is unspecified rather than clearly “no proof required.”

The January 7, 2027 hearing is scheduled for final approval, but that date does not guarantee that payments will be sent then or that the settlement will be approved.

• Payment depends on the Court giving final approval and the settlement becoming effective.
• If that happens and you are eligible, the notice says a check will be issued within 45 calendar days after the Effective Date.
• An appeal can delay payment. Checks expire 90 days after they are issued.

In this notice, a release means giving up the covered legal claims. The notice says the detailed release terms are in the Settlement Agreement.

• You stay in the Settlement Class.
• You will not receive a payment because a claim is required.
• If the settlement becomes final, you will be bound by the Court’s judgment and give up the released claims against ITS and the other released parties.

Opting out means leaving the settlement. You will receive no settlement benefits, but you will not release any claims you may have against ITS.

• Mail a written exclusion request to the Settlement Administrator so that it is postmarked by December 4, 2026.
• The request must be signed and include the case name and number, your full name, current address, telephone number, and a statement that you want to be excluded.
• The mailing address is ITS BIPA Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.

The notice gives the court, administrator, and lawyers’ mailing addresses on page 7. If you hire your own attorney to object, you are responsible for that attorney’s fees and expenses.

• Only a class member who does not opt out may object.
• File a signed written objection with the Clerk of the Court and send copies to the Settlement Administrator, Class Counsel, and Defendant’s Counsel by December 4, 2026.
• The objection must include the information and supporting material listed in the notice, including why you object and whether you plan to attend the hearing.
• The notice says a timely objector must also appear at the Final Approval Hearing in person or through their own lawyer.

At the hearing, the Court will consider whether to approve the settlement and requests for attorneys’ fees, expenses, and a class representative incentive award.

• The hearing is scheduled for January 7, 2027, at 9:00 a.m.
• It is scheduled at the Circuit Court of DuPage County Courthouse, 505 N. County Farm Rd., Wheaton, Illinois 60187, with a Zoom option listed in the notice.
• You do not have to attend unless you object, but the date or time may change without notice.

• You may notify the Settlement Administrator of a change in mailing address.
• The notice lists this address: ITS BIPA Settlement, c/o Settlement Administrator, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958.
• This helps the administrator send any payment to the correct address if you are eligible.
