EA Settles Lawsuit

Electronic Arts has settled the lawsuit in which they were accused of overtime violations by a class of current and former computer graphic artists in Electronic Arts' California studios.

Under the terms of the settlement, the claims of the alleged class will be dismissed, and EA will make a total payment of $15.6 million to cover all claims by the class members, plaintiffs' attorney fees, any incentive payments to the named plaintiffs and all administrative costs of the settlement. Any portion of the settlement fund that is unclaimed by class members will go to the Jackie Robinson Foundation.

Settlement of the case, which is pending in the Superior Court of San Mateo County, California, must be approved by the Court before it can become effective.
