Welcome to the Website for the Lazova-Fast v. Big Al’s, Inc. Proposed Class Action Settlement

You may be eligible for a payment from a class action settlement relating to Big Al’s Inc.’s employment policies or practices.

A Washington State Superior Court Authorized this website.

A former employee of Big Al’s Inc., Adele Lazova-Fast (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed two lawsuits against Big Al’s, Inc. (“Defendant”) on behalf of herself and a class of similarly situated employees. The lawsuits are currently pending in Clark County Superior Court under one action, Lazova-Fast et al. v. Big Al’s, Inc., Case No. 24-2-03907-06 (the “Lawsuit”). In the first case, Plaintiff claimed that Defendant failed to provide non-exempt, hourly employes with: (1) compliant meal periods; (2) compliant rest periods; (3) compensation for missed and noncompliant meal and rest periods; and (4) accurate wage statements (“Meal and Breaks Action”); while in the second case, Plaintiff claims Defendant failed to pay the full amount of the service charge it applied to all events to non-exempt, hourly employes who are employed as servers, food runners, bartenders, bussers, hosts and similar tip-eligible job titles (“Service Charge Action”). Defendant denies these allegations, and contends that it has always complied with state and federal law.

The Court still has to decide whether to approve the settlement. No settlement benefits or payments will be provided unless the Court approves the settlement and it becomes final.
