Lawsuit Information
A settlement has been reached in a class action filed against WorkEasy Software, LLC f/k/a EasyWorkforce Software, LLC (“EasyWorkforce”). The lawsuit claims that EasyWorkforce violated an Illinois law called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by capturing, collecting, and disclosing biometric data without proper consent, and by failing to adequately secure that data. EasyWorkforce denies any wrongdoing and says that it has not violated any laws. The Settlement does not establish who is right or wrong but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit and avoid the uncertainties and expenses that come with continuing in court.
