DENVER (AP) -- Federal officials say Home Depot has agreed to pay nearly $85,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging retaliation.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Friday the settlement stems from the case of an employee in Evergreen who was fired after filing a sex discrimination complaint in 2004.

Atlanta-based Home Depot Inc. has already settled a lawsuit with the employee.

A spokesman for the retailer did not immediately return a call Friday.

The EEOC settlement includes an agreement that Home Depot will post its anti-discrimination policy and provide training about federal anti-discrimination laws. Home Depot will also make periodic reports to the EEOC.
