In April 1997, the EEOC district office in Miami, Florida brought this action against the Quadomain Recreation Association in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The complaint states that a female employee alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, she alleged that one of her superiors subjected her to unwelcome physical touching and inappropriate sexual comments. After very little discovery and a referral to mediation, the parties settled and a consent decree was entered in August 1998.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would refrain from retaliating and discriminating on the basis of sex, pay the aggrieved party $17,000, develop and distribute an anti-discrimination policy, distribute and EEO policy, post a consent decree notice, provide three hours of EEO training, and submit semiannual complaint reports. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the agreement ran for three years.
