The owner of eight IHOP restaurants in Nevada and New York will pay $700,000 and change its employment policies and practices to resolve U.S. government allegations that food servers and other crew members were subjected to widespread sexual harassment. The policy changes agreed to by Lucinda Management LLC and the eight operating companies that run the franchises include dropping a requirement that workers report suspected sexual harassment within 72 hours of its occurrence or else forfeit any opportunity to complain.
