What Is the Case About?

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the operators of Kickback Jack’s, alleging they maintained a policy or practice of intentionally failing to hire male applicants for non-managerial front-of-house jobs such as server, bartender, and host, in violation of Title VII. Under a consent decree, Battleground Restaurants agreed to pay $1,111,300 without admitting liability or wrongdoing.

Who Qualifies?

Men who applied for a non-managerial front-of-house position (server, bartender, or host) at a Kickback Jack’s location in North Carolina, Virginia, or Tennessee between January 1, 2019 and February 3, 2026 and were not hired allegedly due to their sex.

How Much Can You Get?

Valid claimants share the net settlement fund on a pro rata basis after administration costs, so the exact payment depends on how many people file. No fixed per-person amount is guaranteed.
