The EEOC's complaint alleged that the defendant violated Title VII when it discriminated based on religion by failing to hire and accommodate the complainant. The parties entered into a consent decree on November 14, 2006, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $21,366.80 in damages, post a notice of compliance with Title VII, provide Title VII training to its managers, and report its training efforts to the EEOC. The settlement term was 3 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2009. Aaron Weismann - 06/21/2007 - 06/12/2017 compress summary
