Abrishamcar v. Oracle America, Inc.

Settlement Reached in Case Alleging Systemic Labor Code Violations Against Oracle

Filed 2015; San Mateo County Superior Court Case No. CIV 535490.
Plaintiffs sued Oracle over its incentive compensation practices pursuant to the Labor Code Private Attorney Generals Act of 2004.

A settlement has been reached to resolve the nearly 10-year-long case. The San Mateo County Superior Court has scheduled a hearing for April 30, 2024, to review the proposed settlement.
The $15,500,000 non-reversionary settlement fund includes civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs, service awards, and administration costs.
If the Court approves the settlement, 25% of the civil penalties will be distributed to Oracle employees and 75% will be paid to the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA), based on the allocation of penalties mandated by the Private Attorneys General Act.
The employees who qualify for a share of penalties would be those who were:
- Employed as sales personnel subject to an Incentive Compensation Plan or Agreement in California
- Between July 24, 2014, and September 18, 2015, or October 30, 2016, and February 9, 2018.
Each employee’s share will be proportionate to the number of pay periods worked.
If the Court approves the settlement, a settlement website will be created by the settlement administrator that employees can access to obtain more information.
