In September 2006, the EEOC district office in San Francisco brought this case against Olympic Security Services, Inc. in the the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The complaint alleged that the defendant violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it refused to hire and accommodate an applicant whose religious beliefs required him to wear a beard. After discovery deadlines were set, the parties settled and a consent decree was entered in May 2007.
In the consent decree, the parties agreed that the defendant would pay the aggrieved party $19,100, refrain from discriminating on the basis of religion, review and revise its EEO policy, provide its managers and supervisors with one hour of EEO training, offer the complainant a full-time position, post an EEO notice, and submit compliance reports to the EEOC. No fees or costs were awarded. The terms of the agreement ran for eighteen months. The terms of the agreement were to run for 1.5 years. The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
