Claire's, a popular jewelry and accessories retailer, has agreed to a $1.03M settlement following a class action lawsuit alleging the company violated Washington's Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. The lawsuit claimed that Claire's failed to disclose wage scales and salary ranges in its job postings for open positions in Washington, a practice found to be a violation of the state law. The settlement impacts those who applied for a job with Claire's in Washington between January 1, 2023, and April 9, 2025, without the job posting revealing the wage scale or salary range. Though not admitting any wrongdoing, Claire's agreement to the substantial settlement underscores the importance of transparency in job postings, particularly about wage scales and salary ranges. The affected class members can share the net settlement fund equally, with an estimated payment of $1,322.79 per person.
