The settlement announced Tuesday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission includes a requirement that the company train its employees and managers about sexual harassment.
The EEOC lawsuit alleged company managers knew about repeated sexual assaults against six male employees by a group of male kitchen staffers at a restaurant in Chandler, Ariz., but did not intervene.
The Cheesecake Factory, based in Calabasas, Calif., said in a statement that the claims had no merit and it does not tolerate sexual harassment. It said it agreed to settle to avoid the disruption and expense of continued litigation.
