In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would refrain from retaliating and discriminating on the basis of sex, pay the aggrieved female $43,500, place a copy of the consent decree in her employee file, allow her to submit a letter of resignation to be placed in her employee file, provide EEO training, post an EEO policy, sign and implement an EEO policy, make the EEO policy part of its handbook, and submit semiannual compliance reports to the EEOC. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the decree ran for two years.
