A police officer who alleged he was fired for being gay will receive $750,000 from the borough of Glen Rock, New Jersey and get his job back, North Jersey.com reported.

Matthew Stanislao (pictured above) was terminated from the Glen Rock Police Department in October 2014. One week later, a lawsuit was filed against the borough and Police Department, alleging a hostile work environment.

The lawsuit claimed that Officer Stanislao was harassed by other officers using derogatory comments and lewd gestures referring to his homosexuality. It also claimed Stanislao was never recognized for his meritorious service, which included rescuing two people from a mostly submerged car.

Stanislao will be reinstated to his position of patrol officer with back pay “on or before May 5, 2017,” said Mayor Bruce Packer in announcing the settlement on Wednesday.

A payment in the amount of $750,000 will be made to Stanislao and his attorneys; $600,000 of that will be paid by Glen Rock’s insurance carrier. The remaining $150,000 will be included in this year’s budget but will not increase taxes this year, due to offsets made in the budget, Packer said.

Other terms of the settlement include eligibility for future promotion opportunities and participation in classes at the Bergen County Police Academy as found appropriate by Chief Dean Ackermann and the academy director. In exchange, all claims made by Stanislao will be dismissed. Neither party has admitted fault or liability, said Packer.

KA-CHING!  (And he is cute!)
