Settlement Summary
Jackson Hewitt, a prominent tax preparation firm, recently agreed to a hefty $10.8 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit accusing them of anti-competitive behavior. The suit alleged that the company and its franchisees were party to "no-poach" agreements, essentially barring them from hiring each other's employees. These agreements, the plaintiffs argued, restricted the job mobility of their employees and were thus anti-competitive in nature. The settlement, which covers anyone employed in a tax preparer role at any company-owned Jackson Hewitt location in the United States between December 20, 2014, and July 3, 2024, marks a significant victory for workers in the tax preparation industry.
