UKG will pay over $3.3 million as part of a lawsuit settlement to resolve claims its timekeeping software violated Illinois biometric laws.
The settlement benefits individuals who scanned their fingers or had their pictures taken in Illinois using an UltiPro TimeBase time clock, TouchBase time clock, or NOVAtime time clock between March 3, 2015, and Dec. 29, 2021.
UKG is an HR company that provides timekeeping solutions, benefits tracking, and other services to employers. Some of UKGs timekeeping solutions involve biometric data such as fingerprint scans.
Although UKG is a trusted provider of HR solutions, the company allegedly violated Illinois state law with its biometric time-keeping products. According to a class action lawsuit against the company, UKG violated Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA).
BIPA standardizes the way companies collect, store, share, and destroy Illinoisans’ biometric data. The law requires clear disclosures, prior consent, and public policies about retention and destruction schedules.
UKG violated all of these requirements through its TimeBase time clock, TouchBase time clock, or NOVAtime time clock, the class action lawsuit contends. Despite these products relying on biometric data such as fingerprint scans and facial geometry scans, UKG allegedly failed to meet BIPA disclosure and consent requirements.
UKG agreed to resolve these allegations with a settlement worth $3.36 million.
Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members can receive a cash payment. Payment amounts will vary but each claimant will receive a proportional share of the settlement fund.
The settlement website estimates payments will be between $200 and $400 — though actual payments may be higher or lower depending on the number of valid claims filed.
UKG has also agreed to take steps to comply with BIPA including publicizing its biometric policies, encouraging its clients to use UKG technology in a BIPA compliant way, and verifying that previously collected biometrics are stored and destroyed in accordance with the law.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is April 15, 2022.
The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for May 20, 2022.
In order to receive a settlement payment, Class Members must submit a valid claim form by May 6, 2022.
