The EEOC's Chicago office filed this suit on September 18, 2000 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The complaint was brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and alleged that Burns International Security Service, doing business as Kane Security, failed to reasonably accommodate the complainant by refusing to allow her to wear a hijab in accordance with her Muslim faith.
A consent decree was entered on December 19, 2000, three months after filing. The defendant agreed to pay $50,000 in damages and costs, conduct training for its managers and report any future occurrences of dress code violations based on religious belief.
