The case focused on four facilities and 238 women applicants for “outbound selector positions”.
Sysco will also offer 60 jobs to the original applicants as the positions become available.
The cities involved include Jessup and Pocomoke City in Maryland, Harrisburg in Pennsylvania and Harrisonburg in Virginia.
For its part Sysco said it believes there was no evidence of discrimination but worked with investigators to close out the audits.
