Fourteen workers at the Amazon fulfillment center in Murfreesboro, Tenn, have accepted offers to resolve claims from a federal lawsuit they filed last month "concerning unpaid time spent on security screenings accepted offers today to resolve their claims," the Tennessean reported. The plaintiffs had maintained they were required to complete security screenings after punching out that could take more than 10 or 15 minutes of unpaid time.

The settlement payments from defendants Amazon.com and staffing agency SMX LLC, which operates at the facility, "range from $252 to $5,808, depending on how long each employee worked at the facility," the Tennessean wrote.
