Common questions
- How much does the Elsie Rooftop Wage and Hour Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Payment is estimated based on the number of weeks worked between July 3, 2018 and November 13, 2025; each tipped worker receives the same dollar amount per week worked. Payment amount shows as [AMOUNT] on this page. 20% is subject to payroll tax withholdings (reported on Form W-2); 80% is not subject to deductions (reported on Form 1099).. The total settlement fund is $900,000. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- What is the claim deadline for the Elsie Rooftop Wage and Hour Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was August 10, 2026. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Elsie Rooftop Wage and Hour Settlement?
- No. You can file without a receipt or proof of purchase. You attest that you qualify and submit basic details, though claims are still subject to review and submitting a false claim is a crime.
- Is the Elsie Rooftop Wage and Hour Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- ILYM Group, Inc. is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at elsierooftopsettlement.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. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Elsie Rooftop Wage and Hour Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for September 8, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
