WHEN ARE WE GETTING LAWSUIT CHECKS IN THE MAIL?

Quote
yes, may is correct. i talked to the claims persona and we WILL get award letter in april and payment in may 2011. the severance agreement has NO effect on wether you will be paid or not.
 






So what you are saying is if you were employed in the years 2002 through 2010 you get $200 back pay for all months, even the second half of 2010 and even if you opted out?

the lawsuit has specific dates. Think it goes thru July 2010.
If you opted out you will not get a check sorry.
I'm also pretty sure it stared 2003
you can go to the Sanford Wittlel website and the settlement is posted there in full detail

Did those who did not opt out receive something additional in the mail after the first notice we received last summer?

If you received the packet where you submitted the forms for compensatory damages if you wanted to file that is the only thing besides the letter that came that pretty muched begged you to file the compensatory damages. Lawyers don't want Novartis getting any money back
cause that will happen if anything is left from that funding

I am one of the original plaintiffs...we got a letter stating that as of last count, only 6 women had opted out of the suit...out of approximately 6,200 women in the class....what does that tell you Novartis???

Good luck to all..

Thank you for the courage to come forth on our behalf! I know you and the other original plaintiffs have faced a lot of accusations, speculations and disbelief with respect to this suit. Thank you for your courage to stand up as I didn't have that courage to do so!
 












Really? You. Think we'll get $200 for each month worked? If you were employed the entire time, that's over $20,000. I heard earlier it would be more like $6000. Does anyone really know? And I'm talking about if you didn't try to get any additional.

If you were employed the entire time it will be around $20,000 before taxes.
It will be taxed so it should be around $12-14

Yes that sounds correct. 200 per month is the back pay award that everyone receives unless they opted out. Anything beyond that for the discrimination rider and medical rider are up to the claims administrator. My understanding is that the backpay award is taxed because it is treated as salary. The other awards won't be taxed as pay by novartis but would probably have some type of tax implication when you do your taxes next year.

Could someone tell me WHY ANYONE WOULD OPT OUT!?!? I understand stupidity would be one reason, but why else?! This is YOUR money!!!

I can't believe I was actually debating whether or not to send in my paperwork fearing retaliation. Was laid off in December only a week after I mailed in the form. Glad I did. Could really use the money.
 






I know in the original paperwork it states in not exact terms but that the company will not know what you state in your letter etc.... but how do they verify dates of the info you sent in. I fear that someone at novartis will know who sent in the additional info???

Thank you, that is really one of the nicest things ever said to me during this entire difficult process...I am really proud that all of us women have stuck together and brought to light how ugly Novartis is...

Thank you again...

a plaintiff
