Summary
Maya Amerson brought this wage-and-hour class action against Reddit in San Francisco Superior Court, alleging the company misclassified non-exempt workers as exempt and thereby failed to pay overtime, provide meal and rest breaks, and issue accurate wage statements. The parties reached a $525,000 class settlement covering roughly 120 employees who worked at Reddit between December 2018 and March 2024, with each class member receiving about $2,100 after deductions. The settlement also provided an additional payment to a subclass of content moderators. The settlement was reported in 2024.
