Hotel Operator Strikes Deal To End EEOC Pay Gap Suit
Law360 (February 1, 2021, 1:35 PM EST) Hotel operator Aimbridge Hospitality agreed to pay $400,000 to settle a U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit alleging the company underpaid 25 female guest services representatives at a Courtyard by Marriott in Louisiana.
The EEOC and Aimbridge asked U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty on Friday to approve a consent decree calling for Aimbridge to make the payment to compensate a class of workers led by charging party Q juanisha Benson. Benson had alleged she made $11 per hour while a male employee she supervised made $15.25.
