- Is the 2022 Franchisee Employee Data Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Simpluris is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at 2022franchiseeemployeedatasettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text.
