Cordia Senior Living will pay $40,000 to a former employee to resolve a retaliation case brought by the EEOC.

The EEOC charged that Cordia, located on Cass Avenue in Westmont, Ill., fired the former employee in retaliation for repeatedly complaining to management about alleged sexual harassment.

Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits retaliation for opposing sexual harassment.

The judgement provides $40,000 in monetary relief to the victim of the alleged retaliation. In addition, the decree includes an injunction against retaliation and imposes record keeping and reporting responsibilities on the senior living center for the decree's term.
