Insurance broker Willis Group Holdings said a federal court in New York has given preliminary approval to the settlement of a gender discrimination class action suit.
The suit, filed against the company in 2001, raised issues of gender discrimination in compensation and promotion during the period of Oct. 31, 1998 through Dec. 31, 2001. It affected employees of Willis of New York, Willis of New Jersey and Willis of Massachusetts.
Willis said it denies any discrimination took place.
