Case Summary

The EEOC's Albuquerque district office sued Monk's, Inc., the owner of the International House of Pancakes chain of restaurants, on February 3, 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The EEOC's complaint alleged that Monk's violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it discriminated against an employee with a physical disability (diabetes) when it failed to reasonably accommodate the employee and terminated him. The parties entered into a consent decree on May 9, 2000, which stipulated that Monk's would pay the defendant $11,000 in damages, post a notice of EEO rights in its Las Cruces restaurant, provide EEO training for its managers and supervisors, and allow the EEOC to ensure compliance with the consent decree both through annual reports from the defendant and entering the defendant's restaurant.
