Will the settlement be paid in company scrip?

Well, I have never been denied a break in 10 and a half years, and the only time I didn't get OT pay for hours worked over 40 was DST weekend last year when they screwed up how they entered the time. I figured the 6 pre-tax bucks I lost out on wasn't worth the hassle to get it fixed.....
So no Christmas shopping for me. But I guess it's heartwarming to see that more of my profits are going to go towards paying off a bunch of already rich lawyers......

Don't you have any brains in a can? Please check the expiration date though.
