Proof Required?
Amazon has agreed to a $3 million class action settlement to resolve claims that it failed to pay Pennsylvania hourly workers for time spent going through mandatory COVID-19 screenings before their shifts. Workers were required to show up early, get screened, and only then clock in — meaning that screening time allegedly went uncompensated. If you worked as an hourly Amazon employee at a Pennsylvania facility and were required to undergo COVID-19 screenings before your shifts, you may be entitled to a share of this settlement. The best part? You don't need to do anything to get paid — payments are automatic for eligible workers. The settlement covers more than 30,000 Pennsylvania hourly Amazon employees. The deadline to opt out of the settlement is October 15, 2026, so now is a good time to understand your rights and make sure you're included.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You worked as an hourly Amazon employee at a Pennsylvania warehouse, fulfillment center, or facility
  • You were required to undergo COVID-19 health screenings before clocking in for your shift
  • You are one of the approximately 30,000+ workers identified as part of the class
  • Amazon has already identified eligible workers — no claim form is required to receive payment

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $3 million, which will be divided among the 30,000+ eligible Pennsylvania hourly workers. Individual payment amounts will depend on factors like how long you worked at Amazon and how many shifts you were screened, but specific per-person amounts have not yet been publicly confirmed. Payments are automatic — Amazon and the settlement administrator will identify eligible workers and send payments directly. You do not need to submit a claim form. However, if you do NOT want to participate in the settlement and wish to preserve your right to sue Amazon separately, you must opt out by October 15, 2026.
