Music retailer Guitar Center Inc. has reached a preliminary agreement to settle two purported class action lawsuits filed by hourly store employees in California.

The suits alleged, among other things, that the company improperly documented and enforced break-time and lunchtime periods for the workers.

Guitar Center said it denies all liability or wrongdoing in the cases but chose to settle to avoid the distraction and costs it would otherwise incur.

Under the terms of the proposed settlement, Guitar Center will make cash payments of up to $3.5 million to resolve the claims, which includes payments to class members

The settlement is subject to final documenation and court approval.
