Pandora Job Posting Settlement: Up to $1.99M for Washington Pay Disclosure Claims

The lawsuit centers on Washington State’s pay-transparency requirements for job advertisements. From January 1, 2023, through July 26, 2025, people who applied for roles in Washington with Pandora Ventures, Pandora Jewelry, Pandora Franchising, or Pandora Ecomm may be eligible for payments if the specific job posting they applied to did not include (1) a wage scale or salary range and (2) general information about benefits and other compensation. The case reflects a growing push by states—especially Washington—to make pay information available earlier in the hiring process so applicants can better understand compensation before accepting or interviewing for a role. Pandora Ventures LLC agreed to settle a class action seeking up to $1.99 million, without admitting wrongdoing, to resolve claims that its job postings failed to meet those legal disclosure obligations. Eligible class members may receive an estimated cash payment of about $3,290.04 per separate job they applied to during the qualifying period, and notably, the notice indicates no claim form is required—only an address update or payment election using the notice login/PIN or a provided form, by a deadline of December 14, 2026. More broadly, this settlement is part of a wider trend of employment cases tied to pay transparency laws and similar compliance rules, which companies are increasingly expected to incorporate into their recruiting and job-posting workflows to reduce legal risk and improve fairness in hiring.
