McDonald's agreed to pay $26 million to settle wage-theft allegations in California.
A yearslong legal battle accused the fast-food chain of skimming wages from some 38,000 workers at corporate stores.
McDonald's allegedly structured its timekeeping to skirt California overtime law.
"The parties have reached a mutually acceptable resolution and have submitted the settlement to the court for its review and approval," company officials said in a statement. "McDonald's remains committed to our employees, and we continuously roll out additional trainings and resources across corporate-owned restaurants to promote continued compliance with all wage and hour laws."
