NC Town Manager Settlement: $100K for Wrongful Hiring Denial

A former town manager candidate in North Carolina received a $100,000 settlement from the State Treasurers Office, ending a legal dispute over a denied job. The settlement, made in November 2021, involves a three-year disbursement from an escrow account. The Treasurers Office, which defends local government hiring decisions, maintained that no fault was admitted. The plaintiff had previously worked as a town manager in Zebulon, North Carolina, and filed a lawsuit claiming emotional distress and job search difficulties after her termination. The Court of Appeals had already dismissed claims of mayoral misconduct related to this situation. The settlement aims to close the matter, with the Treasurers Office continuing its duty to support and defend local government employment practices.
