Case Summary

The EEOC's Atlanta district office sued Spray-N-Bake, Inc. on September 30, 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia. The EEOC's complaint alleged that the defendant violated Title VII when it discriminated based on sex (female) by creating a hostile work environment. The parties entered into a consent decree on September 28, 2004, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainants $60,000 in damages, post a notice of compliance with Title VII, provide Title VII training to its employees, draft and distribute a non-discrimination policy, provide for an EEO compliance official, and report complaints of sex discrimination to the EEOC semiannually.
