Mount Airy Casino Resort has agreed to pay $2.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that could affect almost 700 current and former employees eligible for unpaid wages and overtime.
The employees are entitled to at least $1,474,000 of the money, with the rest going toward lawyers’ fees, litigation expenses and settlement administration, according to a copy of the settlement filed in federal court.
Under the settlement, first proposed in September, the employees will get paid an average of more than $2,000, with no employee receiving less than $100, according to the settlement. The eligible must have worked at Mount Airy between Feb. 7, 2022, and May 8, 2025.
