Zillow has agreed to pay $1.1 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging the company short-changed its California employees.
A U.S. district judge preliminarily approved the Zillow workers’ settlement, saying it was fair and would prevent the class action lawsuit from dragging on, according to court documents. This means that an estimated class of over 300 California Zillow employees who believe they were shorted on overtime pay, minimum wages, or commissions are one step closer to getting the compensation they’re owed.

Zillow Class Action Lawsuit Alleges Employees Were Short-Changed
Lead plaintiff Nicole Correa worked for Zillow since 2016 as a business consultant. She filed the Zillow employees class action lawsuit in March of 2019, alleging that Zillow was violating California labor laws. She claimed Zillow failed to pay workers overtime pay and minimum wages.
Correa also said the company systematically reduced employee’s commissions by charging them for revenues lost, for reasons like customers failing to pay or if their credit card charge was denied.
Zillow denied the allegations, reportedly claiming it paid employees in accordance with California law. Nonetheless, it agreed to pay up to settle the class action lawsuit claims.
California Employees Can Claim Compensation
If you’re a Zillow employee in California that has worked since March 2015 as a business consultant, sales executive or in one of any of the 14 related job roles, you can claim compensation in this settlement.

This wasn’t the only legal action filed against the online home buying platform in 2019. Zillow was also hit with a class action lawsuit in December of 2019, by realtors claiming the company redirects users to premier agents who pay Zillow a premium. In that suit, the plaintiff claims the practice of redirecting users away from real listing agents has financially injured him.
