$3.18M AMF Bowling Centers job posting class action settlement

AMF Bowling Centers agreed to pay up to $3.18 million to resolve claims it failed to disclose wage scales and benefits in Washington job postings.

The AMF Bowling Centers settlement benefits individuals who applied for a job with AMF Bowlero, Lucky Strike Lanes, Bowlero Broadway Seattle LLC, Bowlero South Seattle, Paradise Lanes, Bowlero Sports and Entertainment Holdings, Bowlero Lynnwood or Bowlero Lanes of Lakewood in Washington between Jan. 1, 2023, and July 25, 2024, where the job posting did not include the position’s wage scale, salary range or benefits description.

According to the job posting class action lawsuit, AMF Bowling Centers and other related bowling companies violated Washington law by not disclosing the wage scale or salary range and/or providing a general description of benefits on job listings for open positions. Washington law reportedly requires this information to be included in job listings to promote fair wages and equal pay.

AMF Bowling Centers operates multiple bowling centers and entertainment venues in many states, including Washington.

AMF hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay a minimum of $1.6 million and a maximum of $3.18 million to resolve the job posting class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the AMF Bowling Centers settlement, class members can receive an equal share of the net settlement fund. According to the settlement agreement, each eligible claimant could receive at least $1,384 with payments capped at $5,000.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Nov. 11, 2024.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Dec. 16, 2024.

The claim form deadline is Nov. 11, 2024.
