Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Notice and why should I read it?

The Court authorized the Notice to inform you that you are a member of the Class and thus have legal rights and options you may act on before the Court rules on the merits of this Lawsuit. The Notice explains the Lawsuit and your legal rights.

The Honorable Maureen McKee of King County Superior Court is currently overseeing this Lawsuit. Alexander Floyd is the Plaintiff or Class Representative. The company he sued, Apex Systems, LLC, is the Defendant.

2. What is this Lawsuit about?

Floyd claims that Apex violated Washington law, RCW 49.58.110, by failing to disclose required pay and benefits information in a job posting for a Washington-based position. Apex denies that its job posting violated Washington law.

3. How do I know if I am in the Class?

Apex’s records establish that you are a Class member because you applied to the LinkedIn job posting for the Agile Delivery Owner position located in Bellevue between September 12, 2023, and September 26, 2023. Since you meet these criteria, you are a member of the Class. If you have questions about your inclusion, you can contact the Administrator, Simpluris, Inc., toll-free by calling (888) 369-3780.

4. Do I have an attorney in this case?

Yes, the Court appointed Timothy Emery, Patrick B. Reddy, Paul Cipriani, and Hannah M. Hamley of Emery Reddy, PC as Class Counsel to represent the Class. Their contact information is:

Should I get my own attorney? You don’t need to hire an attorney because Class Counsel are working on your behalf. These attorneys and their firm are experienced in handling similar cases and are working on your behalf in this Lawsuit unless you exclude yourself. You will not be charged by these attorneys. If you elect to hire your own attorney, you can ask them to appear in Court for you, at your own expense, if you want someone other than Class Counsel to represent you.

5. What happens if I do nothing?

If you do nothing, you will still be in the Class and be bound by all orders and judgments of the Court. Unless you exclude yourself, you won’t be able to file a lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against Apex for the claims or legal issues resolved in the Lawsuit. Remaining in the class does not guarantee that you will receive any money or benefits from the Lawsuit because the merits have not yet been determined, and entitlement to a monetary recovery or benefits has not yet been established.

6. What happens if I request to be excluded?

You must request to be excluded by September 10, 2026. If you submit a timely, valid request for exclusion from the Class, you will not be in the Class. You will not release claims against Apex, and you will not be legally bound by the Court’s judgments in this Lawsuit. Similarly, you will not receive any benefit if the claims in this Lawsuit are successful.

7. How do I request to be excluded?

If you do not want to remain a member of the Class in this Lawsuit, you must send an “Exclusion Request” in the form of a letter sent by mail, stating that you want to be excluded from Alexander Floyd v. Apex Systems, LLC, No. 25-2-03847-5 SEA. Include your name, address, and telephone number, and sign the letter. You must submit your Exclusion Request by mail before September 10, 2026, to:

Floyd v. Apex Systems, LLC
c/o Simpluris, Inc.
P.O. Box 26170
Santa Ana, CA 92799

If you do not request to be excluded before the deadline, you will automatically be included in this Lawsuit. You should keep a copy of the notice for your records.

8. If I don’t exclude myself, can I sue Apex for the same thing later?

No. Unless you exclude yourself, you give up any right to sue Apex for the claims being resolved by this Lawsuit even if you do nothing.

9. If I exclude myself, can I get anything from the Lawsuit?

No. If you exclude yourself, you will not receive any monetary benefit from the Lawsuit.
