Vonachen Services, an Illinois-based janitorial, healthcare, and logistics service provider, has agreed to pay $1.853 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). The lawsuit claimed Vonachen collected and stored employee fingerprints through a timekeeping system without following BIPA's requirements for consent and disclosures.

While Vonachen Services denies any wrongdoing, they agreed to the settlement to resolve the lawsuit. Here's what eligible class members can expect:

• Equal Share of Settlement Fund: Class members will receive an equal share of the net settlement fund after legal fees and administration costs are deducted.
  
  
• Estimated Payment: Each class member is estimated to receive around $780, but the exact amount will vary depending on the number of employees who participate in the settlement.

No claim form is needed. As long as you meet the eligibility criteria and don't exclude yourself by the deadline, you'll automatically receive a settlement payment.
