Alleged sex-based discrimination in the workplace

Complainant alleged she was subjected to sex-based discrimination when her employment was terminated. Complainant asserted she rejected her supervisor’s sexual advances and that she was
fired two weeks later for poor job performance. Respondent denied Complainant’s allegations and asserted Complainant was terminated after being a no-call no-show prior to her shift starting, and
that when she did call several hours after her shift was scheduled to start, she was intoxicated. Information revealed Complainant and Respondent’s Operations Manager were involved in a consensual sexual relationship; however, Respondent’s owner was not aware of the relationship when it terminated Complainant’s employment. Respondent’s owner did not become aware of the
relationship until she received Complainant’s ASCHR complaint. A resolution conference was held, which resulted in a Predetermination Settlement Agreement, wherein the parties agreed Respondent would provide its Operations Manager with both management training, and training in the laws prohibiting discrimination in employment, with an emphasis on Sexual Harassment
and on workplace relationships between supervisors and subordinate employees. On or around March 11, 2024, the Complainant withdrew her complaint with the Commission. Without further
monitoring required, and the case was closed.
