EEOC's Greenville, SC office filed this lawsuit alleging discrimination based on religious belief and failure to reasonably accommodate at the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (Anderson/Greenwood) on 09/28/2000. The defendant Nirman Enterprises Associates operated a Hampton Inn in Clemson, SC. EEOC corrected the defendant's name in an amended complaint. The individual complainant did not intervene in the lawsuit.
The parties settled after some discovery. A consent decree was entered into judgment on 06/21/2001.
The defendant agreed to pay the complainant $3,000 to settle the case. Additionally, the defendant agreed to expunge the records of the complainant and provide neutral references. The defendant was also required to provide training on religious accommodations to its manager and assistant manager. The duration of the consent decree was 30 days or 10 days after EEOC received certification that the training was held, whichever period is longer.
