ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Family Dollar has agreed to pay $45 million to settle a gender bias lawsuit that dates 16 years ago.<\/p>\n

The Charlotte Observer cites the settlement in a Wednesday report as saying 37,000 female managers of Family Dollar stores allege they were paid less than their male counterparts for doing the same job, a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act of 1963.<\/p>\n

The discount retailer’s headquarters are in Matthews, North Carolina, with over 8,000 stores throughout the country.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge Max Cogburn signed off on the settlement March 14. It pertains to compensation paid to affected managers from July 2002 to November 2017.<\/p>\n

Family Dollar denied any wrongdoing, saying that it “has treated all employees fairly with regard to salaries.”<\/p>\n
