Questions about the Papa John's case

Can former Papa John's workers still file?

No. The claim deadline was March 16, 2026. Late claims are typically rejected, and the source page lists no extension or reopening.

How much does the Papa John's settlement pay per worker?

The source page does not give a per-person figure. Payments follow the allocation formula in the settlement agreement and come from the net $5,000,000 fund, so amounts depend on pay during the period and on the number of valid claims.
