The five year consent decree required the defendant to pay the claimant $30,000 in damages and attorney's fees; refrain from discrimination and retaliation; post notice; provide training for owners, managers, and supervisors; notify employees with hiring and firing authority that pregnancy is not a factor that can be in the employment decision; submit reports to the EEOC about compliance and discharges of pregnant women; and allow the EEOC to review its compliance with the decree.
