No Proof Required
Studio One Theaters Tip
If you worked at Studio One Theaters (also known as VCE Theaters) in Oregon, you may be entitled to an automatic payment from a class action settlement — no paperwork required. The lawsuit alleged that the theater improperly managed its tip pool, potentially denying employees the wages they were rightfully owed under Oregon law.
The company has agreed to a $280,000 settlement to resolve these wage claims. Eligible employees could receive approximately $138 or $276.01 depending on their work history. The best part? You don't need to file a claim form — if you qualify, a check may come directly to you.
Who Is Eligible?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you:
- You worked as an employee at Studio One Theaters or VCE Theaters in Oregon
- You participated in or were affected by the theater's tip-pool system during the covered period
- You are a current or former employee who was part of the tip-sharing arrangement at the theater
- You have not previously released or waived your claims related to this settlement
How Much Can You Get?
Eligible employees are expected to receive an automatic payment of approximately $138 or $276.01 from the $280,000 settlement fund. The exact amount you receive will likely depend on factors such as how long you worked at the theater and your level of participation in the tip pool during the covered period. Because no claim form is required, payments should be distributed automatically to qualifying class members identified in the company's employment records.
