If a friend or colleague or even you — yes, YOU! — finds a check from LinkedIn for $20.43 sitting in your mailbox, there’s actually a pretty good reason for it.

The checks are part of a $13 million settlement that the company reached in 2015 with plaintiffs over, of all things, annoying emails the platform was sending to users.
