The woman Herman Cain said received two or three months salary in a harassment suit settlement received significantly more.
Cain described her in a Fox News interview as a writer in the communications department.
The compensation the woman received as part of her departure package was far more than that what a mid-level trade association employee in the late 1990s would have made over a two-to-three month period.
It was also more than the payout a second association employee received after complaining about Cain’s behavior. According to the New York Times, the second woman received $35,000 – a year’s pay.
Cain’s changing stories about whether settlements existed, and their amounts, have muddled his explanations. He has not acknowledged that there is more than one settlement.
