What Is the Settlement About?
Alexander Floyd, who applied for a job at the cloud security company Wiz, Inc., sued on March 21, 2025 in King County Superior Court in Seattle. The case, Floyd v. Wiz, Inc., No. 25-2-09082-5 SEA, alleged that Wiz’s job postings for Washington positions did not include the wage scale or salary range, or a general description of benefits, as Washington’s Equal Pay and Opportunities Act (RCW 49.58.110) has required since January 1, 2023.
Wiz denies that it violated the law and says the claims have no merit; the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. The parties settled after limited discovery. The $5 million fund is a “policy limits” settlement, paid through Wiz’s employment practices liability insurance, and the settlement agreement says the amount was set at the policy’s $5 million limit. The court preliminarily approved it on September 24, 2026. The case joins a long line of Washington job-posting settlements; OCA tracks them on its Washington job posting settlements page.
Who Qualifies?
The settlement class is the plaintiff and everyone who, from January 1, 2023 through September 24, 2026, applied for a job opening in Washington with Wiz, Inc. where the posting did not disclose a wage scale or salary range, and/or a general description of benefits and other compensation. Wiz told the parties there are 4,003 class members. Class members are identified from Wiz’s own application records, and people on the list were sent a notice by mail and email.
Someone who believes they applied but was left off the list could dispute it within 30 days of the notice mailing. Under the agreement, Wiz’s records control unless the person shows documents proving they should have been included.
How Much Can You Get?
Every class member who does not opt out gets an equal share of the class fund. The fund is the $5,000,000 total minus attorneys’ fees of $1,666,666.67 (about one-third), up to $10,000 in costs, a $25,000 service award to the plaintiff, and up to $50,000 in administration costs, all subject to the court’s approval. If those amounts are approved in full, about $3.25 million would remain, or roughly $811 per person divided among 4,003 class members. Shares of anyone who opts out go back into the class fund for everyone else, so opt-outs would raise the per-person amount.
Payments are treated as non-wage damages reported on a Form 1099, according to the notice. Checks expire 180 days after they are issued. Uncashed money is sent to Washington’s unclaimed property program in the class member’s name, and any other leftover funds go to the Legal Foundation of Washington.
Is Proof Required?
No. There is no claim form, and nothing has to be submitted to be paid. The LoginID and PIN printed on the notice are used only to log in on the settlement website to update a mailing address or switch from a paper check to a digital payment such as PayPal or Venmo. Class members can also return the address form that came with the notice. The administrator can resend a LoginID and PIN to class members who request them with their full name and mailing address.

Where this information comes from
- Official settlement websiteepoasettlementwi.com
Court words, in plain English What words like “motion” or “docket” mean. You never need them to file a claim.
- Attorneys’ fees money
What the lawyers for the group ask to be paid for bringing the case. It comes out of the settlement fund, and the judge decides the amount, often less than asked.
For example: The lawyers asked for a quarter of the fund in attorneys’ fees; the judge decides how much they get.
- Claim form what you fill in
The form you send to get your share of the settlement, online or by mail. Filing one is free.
For example: Send the claim form before the deadline, or you may not be paid.
- Class member you, probably
Anyone who fits the group the settlement covers. If you qualify, you are a class member, even if you never heard of the case before.
For example: If you bought the product during the years the notice lists, you are likely a class member.
- Class certification a decision
The judge agreeing that one case can speak for a whole group of people in the same situation.
For example: After class certification, the case went ahead for all the customers, not only the two who sued.
- Docket /DOK-it/ the court’s record
The court’s diary for a case: a numbered list of every paper filed and every step taken, in order.
For example: The judge’s order was added to the docket on May 20.
- ECF number /E-C-F/ a page number
ECF is the courts’ online filing system (Electronic Case Filing). "ECF 233" is item 233 on the case’s docket; "ECF 213-1" is the first attachment to item 213.
For example: A settlement agreement filed as ECF 251 is the 251st item on that case’s docket.
- Final approval hearing a date
Also called the fairness hearing: the day the judge listens to anyone with concerns, then decides whether the settlement is approved for good.
For example: The final approval hearing is usually the last big date before payments go out.
- Motion a request
A formal "please" to the judge: one side asks for something, like more time or approval of the deal. Nothing changes until the judge answers.
For example: The lawyers filed a motion to extend the claim deadline.
- Object /ob-JECT/ your choice
Staying in the settlement but telling the judge what you think should be better. You can still be paid.
For example: If you think the fees are too high, you can object before the deadline.
- Opt out your choice
Choosing to leave the settlement. You get nothing from it, but you keep your right to bring your own case.
For example: If you opt out, you will not get a payment from this settlement.
- Order a decision
The judge’s answer, and the part that counts. "Granted" means yes, "denied" means no, "granted in part" means yes to some of it.
For example: An order granting the motion means the judge said yes.
- Preliminary approval /pre-LIM-in-airy/ a decision
The judge’s first "this looks fair enough to move ahead". Notices go out and claims open, but it is not the final say.
For example: After preliminary approval in June, the claim form went online.
- RECAP /REE-cap/ a source
A free public library of federal court papers run by the non-profit Free Law Project. The court documents on this page link to its copies.
For example: We found the judge’s order in the RECAP archive.
- Service award money
A small thank-you payment to the people who brought the case on everyone’s behalf (the class representatives). It comes from the fund and the judge decides it.
For example: The two people who started the case each asked the judge for a service award.
- Settlement administrator a company
The company that runs the claims for the court: it sends the notices, checks the claims and mails the payments. Questions about your claim go to them.
For example: The settlement administrator mails the checks once the judge approves the deal.
- Unopposed /un-uh-POZED/ a word in requests
Both sides agree on the request, so it usually goes through smoothly.
For example: An unopposed motion to move a deadline is almost always granted.
