While not admitting liability, Sysco Corp. will pay a settlement total of $182,354.26 in back wages, interest and benefits to the affected females applicants at the four locations. The company will also make 60 job offers to original applicants as positions become available at these locations. Sysco Corp. will also review and revise their selection procedures, and train company personnel who recruit, select, and track applicants for outbound selector positions to eliminate practices that resulted in these violations. "The U.S. Department of Labor takes very seriously the contractual obligation that federal contractors make to provide equal employment opportunities for all qualified job applicants, regardless of their sex," said Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs Mid-Atlantic Regional Director Michele Hodge, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
