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 must submit a claim form online or by mail, postmarked no later than February 26, 2023.

• Filing a Claim Online:  Access the Online Claim Form and insert the unique claimant ID number and passcode that was included with your notice.
• Request a Paper Claim Form: You are encouraged to file your claim online because it is more efficient, allows for quicker processing, and ensures accuracy. If you cannot file a claim online, you may request a paper form by contacting the Settlement Administrator, JND Legal Administration, by mail at PO Box 91243, Seattle WA 98111, by calling the toll-free number at 1-844-633-0691, by email at info@EEOC-ADA-PDA-Settlement.com, or by using the Contact Us page of this website.

After the February 26, 2023 claim filing deadline, the Settlement Administrator will review submissions to determine who is eligible for a payment under the settlement. These submissions may be further reviewed by EEOC, who will also establish the criteria for eligibility. After eligibility is determined, the Settlement Administrator will send 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.

These submissions may be further reviewed by EEOC, who will also establish the criteria for eligibility. The amount of an eligible claimant's award will be based off of objective criteria set by the EEOC, and will also depend on how many eligible claims are submitted. We are not able to advise anyone of their estimated award at this time. Please be sure to keep your address up-to-date with us so that you receive all future mailings.
