What happened
Michelle McGivney filed this class action in the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, alleging that ITS Technologies and Logistic, LLC violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act. BIPA requires a private company to give written notice, explain the specific purpose and the retention schedule, and obtain a signed written release before it collects a person's fingerprint, handprint, or other biometric identifier. The complaint alleges that ITS Technologies had Illinois workers clock in and out by scanning a partial handprint or fingerprint without completing those steps. BIPA allows statutory damages of $1,000 per negligent violation and $5,000 per reckless or intentional violation.
ITS Technologies denies the allegations and denies that it violated BIPA, and the Court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of continued litigation, and the Court granted preliminary approval on September 6, 2026. The class notice states an estimated payment of $964.48 per class member after attorneys' fees, litigation costs, administration costs, and the incentive award, but it does not disclose the total settlement amount.
How to file a claim
-
1. Confirm you are eligible
You qualify if you scanned a partial handprint or fingerprint on an ITS Technologies timeclock while working in Illinois between September 8, 2017 and August 29, 2024, and you were not represented by a union. If the Settlement Administrator mailed or emailed you a notice, you have already been identified from the company's records as a likely Settlement Class Member.
-
2. Know what you will receive
The Settlement Fund is divided into equal pro rata shares among everyone who files a valid claim, after deducting attorneys' fees (no more than 33% of the fund), litigation costs, notice and administration costs, and a service award of up to $12,500 to the Class Representative. The class notice estimates approximately $964.48 per class member. It does not state the total fund amount, so the estimate cannot be independently checked from the notice alone.
-

Where the money is going
This is a common fund settlement. Attorneys' fees, litigation costs, notice and administration costs, and the service award all come out of the fund before per-claimant shares are calculated. Each approved claimant receives an equal pro rata share of what remains. The class notice does not disclose the total fund amount, only the estimated per-person figure.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the January 7, 2027 Final Approval Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. The $964.48 figure is the estimate stated in the class notice; because the notice does not disclose the total fund or the class size, that estimate cannot be verified from the public notice documents.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
The class notice estimates approximately $964.48 per class member, after attorneys' fees (no more than 33%), litigation costs, administration costs, and an incentive award of up to $12,500. The actual figure is an equal pro rata share of the fund among everyone who files a valid claim, so the more workers who file, the smaller each share. The notice does not disclose the total settlement amount.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
No. You do not need pay stubs, time records, or any other documentation. ITS Technologies' own records identify the Illinois workers who used the biometric timeclocks, and the Administrator sent notices to the people on that list. The Claim Form asks you to confirm your identity and that you scanned on a company timeclock during the covered period.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
You may still be a Class Member. If you scanned a partial handprint or fingerprint on an ITS Technologies timeclock while working in Illinois between September 8, 2017 and August 29, 2024, call the Settlement Administrator at (833) 200-6678 or email info@ITSBIPASettlement.com to check whether you are on the class list, then file by December 4, 2026.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. Unless you submit a signed exclusion request by December 4, 2026, you will be bound by the Settlement and will release your BIPA claims against ITS Technologies arising from the biometric timeclock scanning, whether or not you file a claim. Given that BIPA provides statutory damages of $1,000 to $5,000 per violation, anyone with an unusually large number of scans may want to talk to their own lawyer. Note that the opt-out deadline is the same day as the claim deadline, so there is no extra window to decide after filing.
When will payments be sent out?
Payments are issued after the Court grants final approval at the January 7, 2027 hearing and the judgment becomes final. If anyone appeals, that can add a year or more. No action is needed after you file; monitor ITSBIPASettlement.com for updates.
