Case Summary

The EEOC's Houston office filed this suit on September 30, 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The complaint alleged that defendant Six Continents Hotels Inc. violated Title VII and the Equal Pay Act. The defendant answered the complaint on December 8, 2003. On January 21, 2004 the court referred the case to mediation. On June 23, 2004 the court entered a final judgment based on the parties agreement. The defendant agreed to pay the complainant and three other female employees a total of $32,500. The defendant also agreed to post notice of EEO rights, provide two of the complainants positive letters of recommendation, and provide training for its employees. Specifically, the defendant agreed to ensure that its current general manager would attend all training sessions while he remained employed with defendant.

The decree was entered in 2004 and scheduled to last 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
