Burger King Worker to Collect on Skirt Firing

     DALLAS (CN) - A Burger King franchisee will pay $25,000 to settle claims over a Pentecostal woman who allegedly lost her job after insisting that she had to wear a skirt.

     The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions filed an August 2012 federal complaint against Fries Restaurant Management LLC dba Burger King over the firing.

     Last week, the parties filed a consent decree with U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn in Dallas.

     The settlement requires Fries to pay the employee, Ashanti McShan, $5,000 in back wages and $20,000 for mental anguish and non-wage damages.
