iPRO Dental Laboratory Pays $30,000 Pregnancy Discrimination Settlement

iPRO Dental Laboratory agreed to settle an EEOC pregnancy discrimination lawsuit for $30,000. As part of the consent decree, the company must provide training on sex discrimination, pregnancy accommodation, and retaliation prevention, and must revise its written policies to ensure compliance with federal law. The settlement also requires the employer to report future complaints to the EEOC for two years.

Employers in similar industries should review their pregnancy accommodation policies and ensure compliance with federal anti-discrimination requirements. The consent decree's monitoring provisions underscore the EEOC's continued focus on pregnancy discrimination enforcement and employer accountability through mandatory training and policy reforms.
