SNOW HILL — Worcester County officials have settled for $60,000 a lawsuit filed last August alleging the now-defunct Liquor Control Board (LCB) violated the federal Equal Pay Act (EPA) by paying female employees at liquor retail outlets less than their male counterparts in the same positions.
Last August, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit in U.S. District Court outlining an alleged pattern carried out by the old LCB of undercompensating female retail clerks at the agency’s retail outlets throughout Worcester compared to their male counterparts performing the same jobs. The allegations date back as early as April 2010 when county liquor dispensary operations were still run by the LCB, a state appointed body.
