Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Contingencies | Note 16. Contingencies From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and other claims arising from our ordinary course of business. The Company regularly evaluates its exposure to threatened or pending litigation and other business contingencies. Because of the uncertainties related to the amount of loss from litigation and other business contingencies, the recording of losses relating to such exposures requires significant judgment about the potential range of outcomes. We establish loss provisions for matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company will disclose the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or disclose that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on our assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. As additional information about current or future litigation or other contingencies becomes available, the Company will assess whether adjustments should be made to legal accruals. In August 2023, a former Teknova employee filed a claim with the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency alleging various causes of action under California’s labor, wage, and hour laws. The plaintiff generally alleged that Teknova did not appropriately calculate and pay meal break premiums and otherwise failed to calculate and pay appropriate overtime wages or bonuses to certain of its California non-exempt employees. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued its best estimate of potential loss related to a possible settlement of the claims of the former employee and other employees who may assert similar claims, in the amount of $0.3 million, which is included within “Accrued liabilities” on the Balance Sheet. On June 6, 2024, a mediation took place, in the course of which Teknova agreed to settle the plaintiff’s claims for $0.4 million (the Settlement), resulting in an incremental accrual of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024. Because the plaintiff brought his claims on behalf of himself as an individual and as a representative of a purported class of others similarly situated, a court must approve the Settlement before Teknova will pay any amounts pursuant to the Settlement. As of September 30, 2024, the Company has therefore accrued $0.4 million within “Accrued liabilities” on the Balance Sheet.
