You should NOT provide us with any Staples documents that are marked "attorney-client privilege" or documents or information provided by or received from a Staples attorney or an attorney representing Staples, Inc.

Confidentiality

To the extent allowed by law, we will keep your information confidential. By submitting this information to us, you intend, as do we, that all the information you provide will be privileged from disclosure to Staples, Inc. as a communication between a potential client and attorney. However, Staples, Inc. may seek the information, and we cannot guarantee that the judge will not compel us to produce it.

Retaliation

If you are still an employee of Staples, Inc., any retaliation by the company, its affiliates or subsidiaries against you for exercising your legal rights by participating in the lawsuit, providing us information, or otherwise assisting us, is illegal and may provide you with a separate basis for bringing a lawsuit. Please report any act that you consider retaliatory to us immediately. If Staples, Inc. learns that you are participating in this lawsuit in some fashion (for example, sending information to us), its lawyers may approach you to answer questions. You are not obligated to answer any questions from Staples, Inc. concerning your communications with us or to provide Staples, Inc. with a copy of any information that you provide to us. If you wish to speak with someone other than us who is independent of Staples, Inc. before deciding whether to answer Staples' questions, we will provide the name of lawyers who can give you independent advice free of charge or for a minimal fee.

** Note ** We cannot promise that a collective action will be certified or that you will be found to be a member of any collective action that is certified. By receiving your information, we are not agreeing to act as your personal attorney. However, if you have a valid claim and meet other necessary elements, and the court certifies this lawsuit as a collective action, we will represent you in your capacity as a potential collective action member. Currently, we are personally representing only individuals listed as plaintiffs in the Complaint. If you wish to join in the Fair Labor Standards Act claims and appear to us to be eligible to do so, we will send you an "opt-in" form that you will be free to sign, if you so desire.
