Under the terms of the settlement agreement between OAG and Alba, OAG securely shared information about all eligible current and former Alba employees with Atticus. The document that describes these terms is called an assurance of discontinuance (AOD). The OAG directed Atticus to send notices, process claims, and distribute payments.
Under the New York State Personal Privacy Protection Law, any personal information you provide will be used only to process your payment. Atticus will keep your information in a secure database only long enough to process your payment and report your payment to OAG. If you have concerns about submitting your personal information, contact OAG’s Labor Bureau at 212-416-8700.
The OAG’s investigation found that Alba violated New York workers’ compensation laws, punished injured workers for filing claims, and allowed sexual harassment in the workplace. As a result of the investigation, Alba has agreed to pay $1.4 million into a restitution fund. Alba has also agreed to follow the workers’ compensation and human rights laws and to provide protections for current employees.
You may qualify if any of the following applies to you:
•You were injured on the job during the period 2016-2024 and reported your injury to Alba.
•You were sexually harassed on the job during the period 2016-2025.
The OAG has a list of current and former employees who qualify and have shared this list with Atticus, the settlement administrator.
The total amount of the settlement between Alba and Office of the New York State Attorney General (OAG) is $1.5 million and at least $1.4 million will be distributed to workers.

•accurately report all workplace injuries
•stop punishing injured workers who file claims
•stop interfering with medical treatment or workers’ compensation claims
•establish and enforce strong policies to prevent sexual harassment
•conduct mandatory trainings for management and employees twice per year about workers’ compensation benefits and requirements and sexual harassment in English, Spanish, and Russian
