The Reedsburg McDonald’s will pay $1 million to three former employees who sued for sexual harassment.

Ten women will split $1 million in a settlement reached this week over sexual harassment of employees at the McDonald’s in Reedsburg.

Poynette-based Missoula Mac Inc., the owner and franchisee of 25 McDonald’s, was ordered to pay the women who were harassed and carry out a number of corrective actions, according to a press release issued Wednesday by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Missoula Mac, however, no longer owns the Reedsburg McDonald’s; it sold the restaurant late last year to Lorrie Gorichs of Sauk City. She took ownership in January.
