EEOC v. ALM Freight and LMDmax - Disability Discrimination
Summary
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that ALM Freight and LMDmax will pay $107,000 to resolve a lawsuit alleging disability discrimination. The lawsuit claimed the companies failed to accommodate an employee with a disability.
What changed
The EEOC has secured a settlement of $107,000 from ALM Freight and LMDmax to resolve a lawsuit concerning disability discrimination. The enforcement action stems from allegations that the companies violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to provide reasonable accommodation to an employee with a disability, thereby forcing their resignation.
This settlement serves as a reminder to employers of their obligations under the ADA to engage in the interactive process and provide reasonable accommodations. Companies should review their internal policies and procedures related to disability accommodation requests to ensure compliance and avoid similar litigation. Failure to comply with ADA requirements can result in significant financial penalties and reputational damage.
What to do next
- Review internal policies and procedures for disability accommodation requests.
- Ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) interactive process.
