A court authorized the notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
A former server who worked for San Jose at two of their Raleigh, North Carolina, locations has sued San Jose, claiming San Jose did not pay servers hourly wages, including regular straight-time and premium overtime wages, for all hours worked, and improperly took deductions from servers’ tips.
The Court has not yet addressed whether San Jose did anything wrong, and San Jose denies any wrongdoing. The parties have proposed a settlement of this case, and the Court has authorized notice of that proposed settlement to people who may be eligible to participate in it. San Jose records indicate you are entitled to receive notice and, if you return the claim form, would receive a monetary payment under the settlement.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. These options are explained below.

OPT OUT, DO NOT RECEIVE A SETTLEMENT PAYMENT	You may ask to be excluded from the settlement. If you request exclusion, you will not receive a settlement payment and will not be bound by the release of claims explained below.
