Adams, et al. v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc

NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION AND PROPOSED SETTLEMENT

RE:  Adams, et al. v. Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

If you were employed by Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (“ConEd”) in New York State as a Customer Service Representative (as defined in the settlement agreement) between April 13, 2016 through September 18, 2023, you are entitled to a payment from a class action settlement.

A court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

  • Former ConEd employees (“Named Plaintiffs”) filed a class and collective action lawsuit (the “Action”) against ConEd alleging that certain employees (“Class Members”) were not compensated for the time it takes before the start of their shifts to “boot up” their computers and load computer applications and programs.
  • ConEd denies these allegations, maintains that its employees were paid properly, and denies that anyone is entitled to any damages for unpaid work time.  However, to avoid the burden, expense, inconvenience, and uncertainty of litigation, the parties have concluded that it is in their mutual best interests to resolve and settle the Action by entering into a Settlement Agreement.  Accordingly, the Named Plaintiffs and ConEd have agreed to a settlement, the terms of which are set forth in the parties’ Settlement Agreement, which has been approved by the Court.
  • ConEd has agreed to pay up to a maximum of $759,000.00 to settle the Action.  Through this proposed settlement, you are entitled to receive a portion of the settlement, which is based on the amount of weeks you worked during the Relevant Period.
  • To receive a settlement payment, you must return a properly completed Claim Form to the Settlement Claims Administrator via this website or First Class United States Mail, postmarked or received by June 8, 2024. 

 

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT:
RETURN THE CLAIM FORM You will remain part of the case and receive a settlement payment. You will also release all wage and hour claims under state and federal law.
DO NOTHING If you do not return the claim form and you do not exclude yourself, you will remain part of the case but you will not receive a payment.  You will also release certain state wage and hour claims
EXCLUDE YOURSELF If you submit a timely exclusion statement, you will not be part of the settlement of this case. You will not receive a payment or recover anything under this settlement, but you will retain any rights you may have related to the claims in this case, subject to the applicable statute of limitations. If you exclude yourself from the settlement, you may not object.
OBJECT If you object to the settlement, you may write to the Court about why you disapprove of the settlement. You may not, however, object to the settlement if you exclude yourself from it.
  • These rights and options – and the deadlines to exercise them – are explained in this notice.

Payments will be made following the claims period.  Please be patient.
