Settlement Documents
Background of the Lawsuit
Four current and former Discover Products call center employees filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that hourly call center workers were not paid for all of their work time. The plaintiffs claim this unpaid time included pre- and post-shift computer log-in time. Claims were brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act as well as wage laws in Illinois, Ohio, and several other states, seeking unpaid straight time wages, overtime, liquidated damages, and other relief.
Discover Products and Discover Financial Services deny all allegations. The companies contend their call center employees were paid properly for all hours worked and that the plaintiffs cannot recover on the claims asserted.
After negotiations with a private mediator, the parties agreed to a $15,000,000 settlement. Discover Products makes no admission of liability or wrongdoing. Payments will be made after final court approval, which is scheduled for a hearing on June 25, 2026.
