Accu-Time Systems Illinois Biometric Privacy (BIPA) Settlement

Accu-Time Systems, a maker of workforce time and attendance tracking systems, has reached a class action settlement over allegations that it collected employees’ biometric data without proper consent in violation of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). Affected individuals may file a claim by March 12, 2026.

What Is This Case About?

The lawsuit alleges that Accu-Time Systems manufactured and provided biometric timekeeping devices — such as fingerprint or hand scanners — to employers in Illinois without ensuring that proper consent was obtained from employees before collecting their biometric identifiers. Under BIPA, companies must provide written notice, obtain informed consent, and establish retention and destruction policies before collecting biometric data such as fingerprints, facial geometry, or hand scans.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible if you worked in Illinois and used an Accu-Time Systems biometric timekeeping device (such as a fingerprint or hand scanner) to clock in or out of work during the class period, and you were not provided with proper BIPA-compliant notice and consent forms before your biometric data was collected.

How Much Can You Receive?

Eligible class members may receive a cash payment. BIPA provides for statutory damages of $1,000 per negligent violation and $5,000 per intentional or reckless violation. The actual per-claimant payment depends on the settlement fund and total valid claims filed.

How to File Before the Deadline
