Plaintiff Alexander Floyd (“Floyd”) filed a lawsuit against Apex on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated applicants for employment, alleging that Apex violated the pay transparency provision of the Washington Equal Pay and Opportunities Act, RCW 49.58.110. The lawsuit, Floyd v. Apex Systems, LLC, is currently pending before the Honorable Maureen McKee in King County Superior Court as Case Number 25-2-03847-5 SEA (the “Lawsuit”).
Floyd is an applicant for employment with Apex who alleges he was denied access to pay and benefits information during the application process. In particular, he alleges the job posting to which he responded did not include a wage scale or salary range and a general description of benefits and other compensation, in violation of RCW 49.58.110. He seeks $5,000.00 in statutory damages for each Class member. Apex denies Floyd’s claims and maintains that it has not violated Washington law. The Court has not made a decision regarding the merits of the Lawsuit.
On July 16, 2026, the Court granted class certification determining the Lawsuit should proceed on a class basis. The Notice is not an expression of any opinion of the Court as to the merits of any claims or defenses asserted by either party. There is no money available at this time and no guarantee that there ever will be.
You received the Notice because you meet the following class definition: “All individuals who applied to the LinkedIn job posting for the Agile Delivery Owner position located in Bellevue between September 12, 2023, through September 26, 2023.”
Your options are explained in the Notice. To be excluded, you must act by September 10, 2026.
