"A check-printing company accused of discriminating against a transgender woman working at one of its call centers is cutting a big check in a settlement after violating federal employment law.

Britney Austin was employed by Deluxe Financial Services, Inc. at its Phoenix, Arizona call center, where she says she faced harassment and discrimination because of her gender identity. The company, one of the nation's largest check-printing companies, has agreed to pay $115,000 and will implement numerous changes to company policies."
