The EEOC's Detroit Office sued Hi-Mill Manufacturing, a Michigan company, on September 24, 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The EEOC's complaint alleged that Hi-Mill violated Title VII and the Equal Pay Act when it discriminated based on sex (female) by paying at least two female employees less than their male counterparts for equally situated occupations. The court entered a consent decree on June 30, 2004 which required Hi-Mill to pay $20,000 to the two female employees, adjust the wages of the two female employees to reflect the standard payment in their occupation. Furthermore, Hi-Mill was required to end their discriminatory practices generally, forego retaliation, train their upper management about the Equal Pay Act, and post a notice of compliance with Title VII.
The decree was entered in 2004 and scheduled to last 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
