Eagle Valley / May 20, 2022 — Vail Resorts workers have until Friday to postmark an objection or opt out request in the settlement of a class-action case being sought against the company.
The case is being carried out in the South Lake Tahoe area but involves Vail Resorts workers from Wyoming, Indiana, Ohio, Washington, Minnesota, Vermont, New York, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Colorado, Missouri, California, Pennsylvania, Utah and New Hampshire. Attorney plaintiffs have alleged extra work required off the clock, expenses incurred, and other unpaid labor and expenses being provided to the company by workers.
Vail Resorts, while denying the allegations, has agreed to the terms of a preliminary settlement.
A hearing to finalize the settlement has been set for June 17 in El Dorado County Superior Court in South Lake Tahoe.
The settlement provides that Vail Resorts will pay $13,100,000.00 to fully resolve the claims in the action.
The attorneys for the class would receive $4,366,666.67 under the agreement. The class is estimated to include as many as 100,000 current and former Vail Resorts workers.
