TRENTON — A Paramus-based party hosting business has been ordered to pay a former teenage employee $15,000 for subjecting her to sexual harassment and then firing her after she reported it.

The girl, a Paramus resident, was hired by Screamin' Parties in January 2011 to work as a in its facility in West Nyack, N.Y., but transferred to its South Paramus location the following month.

The company hosts parties for children, providing inflatable slides, obstacle courses and "bounce houses" and also allows them to be used on a walk-in basis at both locations.

Beginning in April 2011, she was regularly subjected to unwanted sexual advances by her male supervisor, according to a complaint filed with the state's Division of Civil Rights. Among the overtures were text messages reading "Can I hit it in the morning?" and "Meet me in the closet", Division Director Craig T. Sashihara said in a statement.

The girl also claimed she was subjected to inappropriate comments from male co-workers, one of whom told her that he had arranged a race between her and another female employee to determine who would perform oral sex on him.

In November 2011, the girl complained about her supervisor's conduct, and was informed the following month that she had been fired for breaching company policy.

"A.C.'s purported breach involved having her cell phone in the play area, a violation for which other employees had previously received only verbal warnings," Sashihara said.

As part of a settlement agreement with the state, Screamin' Parties will pay the girl in three installments over the next year. The company has also agreed to have its employees undergo anti-discrimination training, and to create specific policies designed to discourage discrimination and sexual harassment.

The company admitted no liability or wrongdoing as part of the agreement.
