Leopalace Guam Corp. dba Leopalace Resort
Current and former employees of Leopalace Resort in Guam who are not of Japanese national origin and worked there between January 1, 2015, and February 19, 2025, may be eligible to receive a cash payment as part of a class action settlement.
Leopalace Guam Corp. has agreed to a $1,412,500 settlement to resolve claims brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC alleged the company discriminated against non-Japanese employees by providing lower wages, fewer benefits, and less favorable working conditions than those received by Japanese employees in similar or subordinate roles. The lawsuit also claims that Leopalace retaliated against employees who complained about this treatment.
