Hamburger chain Shake Shack has agreed to pay $20,000 to a former employee of an Oakland, California, location who said he was misgendered by co-workers and did not receive support from management when he reported it.
The former employee was trained in San Francisco and assigned to a Shake Shack location in Oakland where the incidents took place, the California Civil Rights Department said in a news release.
He reported the discrimination to management, who "failed to take reasonable steps to correct the behavior," the department said.
