Case Summary

The EEOC's Charlotte district office sued Sampson-Bladen Oil Company on February 27, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The EEOC's complaint alleged that the defendant violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it discriminated based on disability (physical) by disclosing that an employee had HIV, altering the conditions of the employee's employment based on his disease, and ultimately terminated the employee because of his disease. The parties entered into a consent decree on April 9, 2003, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $37,500 in damages, develop and distribute an ADA policy, post a notice of compliance with the ADA, provide ADA training to its employees, allow the EEOC to investigate the defendant's premises, and report alterations of employment duties based on disease to the EEOC semiannually.
