Texas Hotel Management Firms to Settle Pay Discrimination Suit for $400K February 5, 2021
Two Texas-based hotel management firms have agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a federal lawsuit alleging gender pay discrimination at a hotel they operated in Louisiana.
In its lawsuit, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said Aimbridge Hospitality LLC and AH 2007 Management LP (collectively, Aimbridge), the former operators of a Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Monroe, La., had paid a male worker 38% more than his female supervisor and at least 60% more than his female coworkers.
Aimbridge is based in Plano, Texas, and manages hotels nationally and internationally. The companies will pay $400,000 and provide extensive non-monetary relief to settle the lawsuit, the EEOC said.
