Frequently Asked Questions

 

Expand/Collapse All
  • The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Circle Stores as well as Mac’s Convenience Stores, LLC (collectively referred to as “Circle K”) have entered into a settlement agreement, which provides a fund for payment to individuals who may have had a medical condition and/or were pregnant during their employment with Circle K. The settlement does not constitute an admission by Circle K of any wrongdoing, and Circle K denies that it engaged in any such conduct or unlawful action.

  • If you received a notice, it is because company records indicate you may be eligible to receive a payment.

  • If you are a current or former employee of Circle K who sought a reasonable accommodation such as leave for a disability and/or pregnancy, and were terminated at some period between July 10, 2009, and September 26, 2022, you may be eligible to receive a payment in the settlement.

  • In order to receive a payment, you needed to submit a claim form online or by mail, postmarked no later than February 26, 2023. This deadline has now passed. 

    The Settlement Administrator reviewed submissions to determine who is eligible for a payment under the settlement. These submissions were further reviewed by EEOC, who also established the criteria for eligibility. Eligibility has been determined, and the Settlement Administrator has sent notices informing claimants whether or not they are eligible for payment. Eligible claimants will be provided forms that must be returned in order to receive payment.
