In September 2003, the Dallas District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Nexion Health, Inc., d/b/a Mount Pleasant Healthcare Center, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas alleging discrimination on the basis of sex in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant transferred the charging party, a female employee, from a full-time position to a part-time position because she was pregnant. After some scheduling orders, it appears that the parties decided to settle in February 2004. However, they did not reach a final settlement until April 2004 when they settled through a consent decree.
The three-year decree contained non-discrimination and non-retaliation clauses and required the defendant to: post a Title VII notice, provide annual Title VII training for its managers and supervisors at its Mount Pleasant location, report to the EEOC at specified intervals, and pay the charging party $15,000.
