Compucom Systems $1 Million Settlement Over Missing WA Pay and Benefits Info

Compucom Systems Inc. agreed to a $1 million settlement in a Washington-focused class action over the way it advertised jobs. The case targets applicants who applied to Compucom roles in Washington between Jan. 1, 2023, and Sept. 16, 2026, where the job posting allegedly failed to include a required wage scale or salary range and did not provide a general description of benefits and other compensation. Under Washington’s employment laws, many employers must be transparent upfront about pay and benefits so applicants can evaluate roles without needing to guess or request information later. In this settlement, 2,626 eligible individuals were identified, and the estimated payout is about $266.67 per person after deductions for attorneys’ fees and costs, an award to the class representative, and administration expenses. The lawsuit was filed to enforce Washington’s pay-transparency requirements and to deter employers from using job ads that omit key compensation details. While Compucom denies wrongdoing, the company chose to settle to avoid the time, expense, and uncertainty of continued litigation—an outcome that can still create real pressure across the hiring industry to improve job-posting compliance. Similar cases have emerged nationwide as states adopt pay transparency and “equal pay” rules, and Washington’s framework fits into that broader trend of regulating employer disclosures in hiring; these requirements often hinge on what employers must disclose in postings and when they must disclose it. After final court approval, eligible class members will receive payments automatically unless they opt out, with unclaimed funds handled under Washington unclaimed-property rules, and any remaining residual funds going to the Legal Foundation of Washington, concluding the settlement process
