What happened
Plaintiffs Charlie Stacy and Clifford Allen sued Jennmar Corporation of Virginia, Inc. and related defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia. They allege that Defendants failed to pay non-exempt hourly employees at their manufacturing facilities for all compensable time, including certain pre-shift and post-shift work, because of their timekeeping practices, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Virginia law.
Defendants deny liability, and the Court has not decided who is right on the merits. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and delay of trial. The Court entered a Final Approval Order and Judgment on August 26, 2026. Uncashed checks will not revert to Defendants and, subject to Court approval, go to the Southwest Virginia Legal Aid Society.
How to file a claim
-
1. Confirm you are a Class Member
If you worked for Jennmar or a related defendant in Virginia as a non-exempt hourly employee between April 12, 2016 and February 10, 2026, you are likely a Class Member. Class Members were identified from Defendants' payroll and timekeeping records. If you are unsure, call the Administrator at 1-800-384-4310.

2. Understand how your share is calculated
After Court-approved deductions, the Net Settlement Amount is split into a Virginia Wage Class Fund, a Breach of Contract Class Fund, and an FLSA Class Fund. Each eligible member receives a pro rata share of the fund for their class under the Court-approved allocation plan. Each payment is split into two checks: 50% wages (with withholdings, reported on a W-2) and 50% non-wage (reported on a Form 1099).
