Vasquez LLC Settlement: Who Qualifies, Payment Amounts, and Deadlines

The Vasquez v. RGH Enterprises settlement is a $1.3 million wage and hour class action resolution covering roughly 813 non-exempt employees who worked for RGH Enterprises, LLC (also doing business as HHI Enterprises, LLC) in California between December 18, 2020, and April 11, 2025. A San Bernardino County Superior Court judge granted preliminary approval on September 22, 2025, and checks are now being issued by the settlement administrator, ILYM Group.¹²

Who Qualifies for a Payment

You’re in the settlement class if you were employed by RGH Enterprises, LLC in California as a non-exempt employee at any point between December 18, 2020, and April 11, 2025. The class includes approximately 813 people who collectively worked about 53,000 workweeks during that window.³

A smaller group also qualifies for a separate PAGA payment. Those “Aggrieved Employees” are non-exempt workers employed by RGH in California between August 31, 2022, and April 11, 2025, roughly 573 people covering about 15,686 pay periods.³

How Much You’ll Get

The $1.3 million fund is non-reversionary, so none of it goes back to RGH regardless of participation levels. Individual payments are calculated pro rata: your share of the net fund depends on how many workweeks you worked compared with the total workweeks of all participating class members. Longer tenure with the company during the class period means a larger check.³

The settlement agreement does not estimate a specific per-person amount. What it does spell out is what comes off the top before the net fund is divided:³

Attorney fees up to one-third of the gross fund, or about $433,333
Litigation expenses up to $30,000
Service payments up to $10,000 each to the two named plaintiffs, Carlos A. Vazquez Fierros and Imelda Parra Corona
Administration costs up to $10,000 to ILYM Group
PAGA penalties of $50,000, with 75% ($37,500) going to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency and 25% ($12,500) split among Aggrieved Employees

Aggrieved Employees receive their PAGA share on top of their class payment, allocated based on the number of PAGA pay periods they worked. PAGA payments are reported on IRS Form 1099, and any taxes owed are the recipient’s responsibility.³

How To Get Your Check

Under the settlement terms, RGH was required to fund the full $1.3 million within 60 days of the effective date, and ILYM Group then had 14 days to mail out checks. The administrator’s case page is currently offering check reissues and address updates, which means the distribution is live.³²

Don’t Wait Too Long To Cash Your Check

Settlement checks that go uncashed for 180 days after issuance are voided. Those funds don’t go back to RGH; they’re sent to the California State Controller’s Unclaimed Property Fund, where you’d have to track them down on your own to recover them.³

What the Lawsuit Was About

The case, filed as Carlos A. Vazquez Fierros, et al. v. RGH Enterprises, LLC (Case No. CIVSB2320906) in San Bernardino County Superior Court, accused the company of a range of California labor code violations affecting its non-exempt workforce:³

Failure to pay minimum and overtime wages
Failure to provide compliant meal and rest breaks, or to pay premiums when breaks were missed
Failure to pay wages on time during employment and at separation
Failure to maintain accurate records and provide accurate itemized wage statements
Failure to reimburse business expenses and to pay sick wages at the correct rate
Violations of California’s Unfair Competition Law and civil penalties under the Private Attorneys General Act

RGH Enterprises did not admit liability as part of the settlement. The company agreed to pay the $1.3 million to resolve the claims without a finding of wrongdoing.³
