Submit a Claim

Welcome to the Website for the Taylor v Racom Corporation, a Proposed Class Action Settlement

You may be eligible for a payment of $3,500 from a class action settlement relating to RACOM Corporation’s employment practices.

A Washington State Superior Court authorized this website. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from an attorney.

  • An employee of RACOM Corporation, Chad Taylor (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against RACOM Corporation (“Defendant”) on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated employees. The lawsuit, Taylor v. RACOM Corporation, Case No. 24-1-08410-0 SEA (“Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court. Plaintiff alleged in the lawsuit that Defendant induced its current and former employees to sign void and unenforceable noncompetition agreements in violation of RCW 49.62.020.

  • The Court has not made any determinations regarding the merits of the Plaintiff’s claims, and it has not decided whether Defendant violated the law.

  • The parties to the lawsuit (“Parties”) have reached a proposed class action settlement. The settlement includes a maximum payment by Defendant of $197,333 (“Maximum Settlement Fund”). On January 6, 2025, the Court issued an order preliminarily approving the settlement and authorizing the Settlement Administrator, Simpluris (“Settlement Administrator”), to issue this Website and Claim Form.

  • You are receiving this Website because Defendant’s records indicate you are a member of the Settlement Class and are therefore eligible to participate in the settlement. “Settlement Class Members” include “all current and former Washington-based employees of RACOM Corporation who entered into a noncompetition covenant between April 16, 2021, and January 6, 2025, and whose annual earnings were less than the threshold amount set by RCW 49.62.020(1)(b), as adjusted annually in accordance with RCW 49.62.040.”

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

  • Please read this Website carefully. Your legal rights are affected regardless of whether you act or do not act. For complete details, please see the Preliminary Approval Order, the terms of which control, available here.
