On 30 September 2005, the EEOC district office in Los Angeles, California brought this action against the Procel International Corporation and Procel Temporary Services, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Although the complaint is unvailable, the consent decree states that a deaf female employee alleged that the defendant violated Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 when it failed to hire her because of her disability. There were no substantive events in this case. On 5 October 2005, a consent decree was entered.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would pay the aggrieved party $130,000, refrain from retaliating and discriminating on the basis of disability, post an EEO notice in three of its facilities, revise its current anti-discrimination/harassment policy, implement a complaint procedure, provide EEO training to all its staff, distribute it revised anti-discrimination policy and include it in the employee handbook, make semiannual compliance/complaint reports, and hire and EEO consultant to ensure compliance with all the terms of the decree, to provide the EEO training, and to revise the aforementioned policy. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the decree run for two years.
The decree was entered in October 2005 and scheduled to last until October 2007. No further docket entries exist, so the case is closed.
