The complaint alleged that the defendant failed to provide a reasonable accommodation to the charging party, leading to the charging party's discharge. The parties came to a settlement through mediation, and the court entered a consent decree in June 2004. The one year consent decree called for the defendant to expunge from the charging party's record anything about the discrimination claim, pay the charging party $13,500 (back pay and compensatory damages), comply with applicable employment laws, and adopt policies and procedures regarding the ADA, institute training, and post a notice of employee rights under the ADA.
