You may be eligible for a payment from a class action settlement relating to Qdoba Restaurant Corporation’s hiring practices.

An applicant for employment, Destinee Moliga (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against Qdoba Restaurant Corporation (“Defendant,” and collectively with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated individuals. The lawsuit, Moliga v. Qdoba Restaurant Corporation, Case No. 23-2-11540-6 SEA (the “Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court. Plaintiff claimed in the Lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for open positions in Washington did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered. Defendant disputes Plaintiff’s claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit.

The Court has not made any determinations regarding the merits of the Plaintiff’s claims and it has not decided whether Defendant violated the law.

The Parties to the Lawsuit have reached a proposed Class Action Settlement. The proposed Class Action Settlement includes a maximum payment by Defendant of $3,800,000 (“Maximum Settlement Fund”). On April 10, 2024, the Court issued an Order preliminarily approving the Class Action Settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, CAC Services Group, LLC (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue the Notice and Claim Form.

If you received the Notice, it's because Defendant’s records indicate you are eligible to participate in the Class Action Settlement as a member of the Settlement Class. “Settlement Class Members” include “All individuals who, from January 1, 2023, through April 10, 2024, applied for a job opening in the State of Washington with the Defendant Qdoba Restaurant Corporation, where the job posting did not disclose the wage scale or salary range for the position.”

The Court still has to decide whether to approve the Class Action Settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the Class Action Settlement and it becomes final.

Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. For complete details, please see the Settlement Agreement, the terms of which control.
