The Louisville and Indianapolis District Offices of the EEOC filed this case in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. The defendant was Physicians Services, P.S.C. The complaint alleged that one of the four complainants was harassed on the basis of her sex and disability. When she complained, she was allegedly constructively discharged. The other three complainants were all allegedly forced to resign as a result of complaining on behalf of the first complainant. The lawsuit was filed in September 2005 and was resolved through a consent decree in January 2007. During the litigation, the defendant moved to compel arbitration, which was denied. EEOC v. Physician Services, P.S.C., 425 F. Supp. 2d 859 (E.D. Ky. 2006). The complainants, who intervened in the case, entered into separate settlement and confidentiality agreements. Under the consent decree, the company had to provide a training session to all its employees, post a notice of rights, and make semi-annual reports to the EEOC. The duration of the consent decree was three years.
The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2010.
