Employment Practices Liability–Not Thinking What You Put on Post-It Notes Costs $12,000,000

April 21, 2017

On a recent blog we posted about Texas Roadhouse’s EEOC suit against them.  The Texas Roadhouse chain of restaurants had in 2011 396 locations and 40,000 employees and was subject to an EEOC suit filed in 2011 over age discrimination.  Some of the documentation by the EEOC used at trial involved Post-It Notes attached to job applications.  At the time of the last blog, we reported that in January 2017, the trial resulted in a mistrial when the jury did not reach a unanimous decision.

Texas Roadhouse has now signed a consent decree resolving the case and will pay in restitution over $12 Million.
