Lawsuit Information

A lawsuit alleges that WorkEasy Software, LLC f/k/a EasyWorkforce Software, LLC (“EasyWorkforce”) violated a law called the Biometric Information Privacy Act (“BIPA”) by fingerprint-scanning timeclocks in Illinois without complying with the law’s requirements. That law says companies can’t collect, store, or share biometric data, which includes things like face, hand, or fingerprint scans, without first giving notice and getting consent. BIPA also requires companies that collect those types of information to adequately secure that data. The lawsuit seeks money damages and a Court order requiring EasyWorkforce to stop its collection and possession of biometric data. EasyWorkforce denies that it did anything wrong or violated the law, and claims that it did not collect information that is covered by BIPA. The Court has not decided who is right. The lawyers for the Class will have to prove their claims at trial, which has not yet been scheduled.
