Siemens Corp. and related entities agreed to pay $2,290,000 to $3,500,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging Siemens’ job postings in Washington state failed to include legally required wage or salary information in violation of state law.
The Siemens companies include:

Who can file a Siemens claim?
Class members must meet all of the following:
- They applied for a job opening in the state of Washington with any of the Siemens companies between Jan. 1, 2023, and June 24, 2025.
- The job posting they applied to did not disclose the wage scale or salary range for the position at the time they applied.
- They were lawfully available and eligible to work in the United States both at the time of their application and currently.
- They resided in the United States both at the time of your application and currently.
- They did not voluntarily withdraw from the hiring process.
The settlement administrator will use Siemens’ records to determine eligibility. Those who believe they qualify but did not receive a notice should contact the settlement administrator.
How much can class members get?
Eligible class members who submit a valid claim form can receive an equal share of the settlement fund estimated at $1,378.57 and up to a maximum of $5,000 per person.
Settlement payments are calculated as follows:
- If class members submit 875 or fewer valid claims, the settlement administrator will distribute the $2,290,000 minimum fund among claimants.
- For each additional valid claimant above 875, the settlement administrator will increase the fund by $1,378.57 per additional claimant up to the $3,500,000 cap.
- No individual payment will exceed $5,000. If the per-person payment would exceed $5,000, the settlement administrator will pay the excess to the Legal Foundation of Washington as residual funds.

Why is there a class action settlement?
The class action lawsuit alleged Siemens and its related entities violated Washington law by failing to disclose wage scales or salary ranges in job postings. The plaintiff claimed this omission violated RCW 49.58.110, which requires such disclosures.
Siemens denied any wrongdoing or liability but agreed to settle to avoid the uncertainty, risk and expense of continued litigation.
