For lawsuits such as sexual/racial/discrimination cases. Why do employers or anyone else for that matter end up paying? What are the consequences they face if they do not pay on the agreed settlement? And just how much does the EEOC have power or control over, as far as making sure the employerpays the agreed amount?

Are there any consequences if the employer wishes to not pay an amount that both parties have agreed upon?

They usually end up paying because they are going to pay plenty of money for everything else. They will come out in a whole and besides they will get a "bad name" from it so it's best to settle things out of court. and to anwser your other part they are not going to agree on a payment then not pay it!

Sometimes its cheaper to settle than to go to court with all the costs involved in a court case. Corporate lawyers charge like a gazillion dollars.

Once settled it is a court order, failure to follow can result in contempt of court, which can be expensive or invovle jail time.
