On June 11, 2019, James Dulanto filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida on behalf of a purported class of assistant managers employed during a three year period. It alleged that assistant managers were not paid overtime compensation during and after training because they were misclassified as exempt employees. The lawsuit sought damages for overtime hours, liquidated damages, pre-judgment interest, attorney's fees, costs and other relief. On July 12, 2019, we reached an agreement providing for an opt-in collective action settlement. The parties filed a motion seeking judicial approval of the settlement, which was approved by the court. As of September 29, 2019, we have $0.8 million in escrow to settle claims, attorney's fees, and other legal costs related to this lawsuit. This amount is based on the estimated opt-in participation and we may ultimately incur liabilities greater or less than this amount.
We are also involved in various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
