There is no statutory mandate to pay mediated matters. Typically the stipulation of settlement should address such an issue. If it is not noted there, you should retain an attorney to make sure the supermarket pays you within a reasonable period of time and in the manner that you agreed on (for example lump sum vs. a payment schedule).
As you probably realize, you should address this ASAP. Feel free to contact my office at your earliest convenience for further assistance on this matter.
All the best,

In my experience, they usually take sixty days to pay up. However, your attorney should provide you with a better sense of when you should expect your settlement funds.
