Target has agreed to pay $4.6 million to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming it failed to pay employees for all the time they worked at its New Jersey distribution centers.
The settlement benefits individuals who worked for Target at its New Jersey distribution centers since Aug. 6, 2019.
According to the Target class action lawsuit, the retailer failed to pay its New Jersey distribution center employees for all the time they worked, including time spent walking before and after their shifts. As a result, employees were allegedly denied wages they were owed.
Target is a national retailer with locations across the country. The company also operates distribution centers to supply its stores with products.
Target has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $4.6 million settlement to resolve the wage-and-hour class action lawsuit.
Under the terms of the Target settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on their estimated share of the net settlement fund. No payment estimates are available on the settlement website.
Payments will be subject to wage withholding and will result in a W-2 tax form. Class members may also receive a 1099 tax form for the non-wage portion of their payment.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is Feb. 13, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the Target settlement is scheduled for Feb. 24, 2026.
No claim form is required to benefit from the settlement. Class members who do not exclude themselves will automatically receive settlement benefits.
