Fontaine Modification wage settlement

Who may be eligible

Fontaine Modification has agreed to pay up to $1,600,000 to settle wage claims brought on behalf of its hourly, non-exempt workers. Hourly non-exempt people who worked for the company in Virginia between May 1, 2022 and September 1, 2026 are paid without filing anything; hourly non-exempt workers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act anywhere else in that period must return the consent-to-join and claim form by November 27, 2026 or they receive nothing. If that describes you, you may be eligible for a pro rata share worked out from Fontaine's own records of hours and the penalties available, so no flat per-person figure is published. The court considers final approval on December 7, 2026, and filing on the official site is free.

The eligibility period on the official materials is May 1, 2022 – September 1, 2026. The notice states no state limit, so it is usually nationwide. Covered: Fontaine Modification hourly non-exempt work.

Only the official administrator or agency decides who is eligible. Read the official notice before filing, and file only if you believe you meet its criteria.

How much it may pay

Share of a $1.6M fund. Every figure here is an estimate from public materials, not a guarantee: many settlements pay pro rata or only after a claims review, so final amounts commonly land well below the advertised maximum.

The $1,600,000 is a maximum. Attorneys' fees of up to $533,333.33, administration costs of up to $20,000 and a $5,000 service award come out of it first, and what is left is divided pro rata using each person's potential damages and penalties as Fontaine's own records show them. Hourly non-exempt workers in Virginia are paid without doing anything. Everyone else covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act has to return the consent-to-join and claim form, which goes through the settlement site's login portal, or they receive nothing. Amounts are estimates, not guarantees.

What the deadline is

The claim deadline is November 27, 2026.

The court's fairness hearing is set for December 7, 2026; payments do not go out until the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved.

The settlement still needs the court's approval; the final approval hearing is listed for December 7, 2026, and cheques follow it.

What proof is needed

Notice ID / PIN from the official letter or email may be required.

The official claim form states exactly what it accepts; gather it before you start.
