Don’t clap too fast. The individual payout is way less than many may think.

Health Care Workers Who Sued Over COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate Win $10 Million Settlement
Each worker who eventually got a vaccine despite raising religious objections would be eligible for approximately $3,000 while those who were fired or resigned could get up to about $25,000, according to estimates.
…
In addition, the agreement sets aside $260,000 for the named plaintiffs in the case. Each would be slated to receive about $20,000, on top of the other funds.
…
At best, some get about $45K. And those who gave in to pressure get about $3K. Most who got fired may only get about $25K. It was a settlement, not a guilty verdict, and the hospital doesn’t admit any wrong doing. The people who lost jobs can reapply for open jobs, but are not guaranteed their old job back. The lawyers get about $2 million of the $10 million.
I am glad they got the settlement, but each doesn’t get much. When you consider what they went through, and that hospital workers are not low end wage makers on average. And, it isn’t really punitive for the hospital IMHO.
