In August 2004, the EEOC district office in Miami, Florida brought this suit against Executive Record Services, Inc., a record retention firm, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. The complaint states that a female employee was routinely sexually harassed. When she complained of the harassment she was terminated in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Soon after the initial answer, the parties attended mediation. A consent decree was entered in April 2005.
The consent decree states that the defendant was required to establish a nondiscrimination policy, refrain from discriminating or retaliating on the basis of sex, post EEO notices in its Orlando facility, provide EEO training to all of its staff, establish a complaint system, appoint an EEO Consultant, pay the aggrieved employee $50,000 in satisfaction of all claims relating to this litigation, and make semiannual reports certifying its compliance with the terms and conditions of the decree.
The terms of the agreement were to run for 3 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008
