Overview
A class action lawsuit brought by Rafael Perez against Kyocera SGS Precision Tools, Inc. has reached a settlement that received preliminary approval on May 3, 2024. The case, filed on December 29, 2022, in Orange County Superior Court, centers on allegations involving employment practices affecting California workers. The lawsuit involves current and former employees of Kyocera SGS Precision Tools, Inc. and its predecessor company, Kyocera Precision Tool, Inc.
The settlement applies to all individuals who worked for the defendant in California as non-exempt employees at any point between December 29, 2018, and August 17, 2023. The court has conditionally certified the class for settlement purposes and designated Rafael Perez as the class representative, with Paul K. Haines of Haines Law Group, APC serving as class counsel. Class members will receive notice of the settlement and have several options available to them. Those who take no action will remain part of the settlement and be bound by its terms.
Class members may also choose to exclude themselves from the settlement by submitting an exclusion request according to the procedures outlined in the settlement notice. Additionally, individuals have the right to object to the settlement and present their concerns at the final approval hearing. The settlement administrator will handle distribution of payments and maintain updated contact information for class members. The court found the settlement to be fair, adequate, and reasonable, noting that it resulted from arm’s-length negotiations conducted with the assistance of an experienced mediator. A final approval hearing will determine whether the settlement receives full court approval.
