ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION REGARDING ADDITION OF QUALITY CONTROL EMPLOYEES TO CLASS AND COLLECTIVE ACTION SETTLEMENT
ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.
The matter before me is the parties' Stipulation Regarding Addition of Quality Control Employees to Class and Collective Action Settlement [#237],1 filed February 6, 2015. Having reviewed the stipulation, and being fully advised of the premises, I find and conclude that the parties' agreement to include these additional plaintiffs in the settlement is reasonable and will not negatively impact existing class members. I further find and conclude that the proposed form and plan of notice as to these additional plaintiffs is adequate. In addition, I find the parties' agreement to extend the deadline to submit claim forms as to certain putative class members to be reasonable and acceptable. The stipulation thus should be approved.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That the parties' Stipulation Regarding Addition of Quality Control Employees to Class and Collective Action Settlement [#237], filed February 6, 2015, is APPROVED;
2. That the twenty-one (21) Quality Control Employees SHALL BE INCLUDED in the settlement that was preliminarily approved in the court's Order Granting Plaintiffs' Unopposed Motion for Preliminary Approval of Class and Collective Action Settlement and Certification of Settlement Classes [#235], filed November 21, 2014;
3. That the Settlement Administrator SHALL SEND notice to the twenty-one (21) Quality Control Employees in the form and manner identified in the stipulation;
4. That the twenty-one (21) Quality Control Employees SHALL SUBMIT claim forms on or before February 23, 2015;
5. That the deadline to submit claim forms SHALL BE EXTENDED up to and including February 23, 2015, for the approximately fifty-five (55) class members whose original Notice and Claim Forms did not reflect the correct number of paychecks during the relevant class period and the approximately twenty-two (22) class members who were inadvertently excluded from the list of class members and did not receive the original Notice and Claim Form; and
6. That all other terms of the settlement remain unchanged.
