The Baltimore District Office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, against Global Pest Management, Inc. et al. The complaint, filed in June 2005, alleged religious discrimination (Christianity) and retaliation in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the Defendant had discriminated against the charging party by failing to accomodate his religious beliefs and practices, which included attending meetings and services on Saturdays. Rather, Defendant required the charging party to work Saturdays and then discharged him in retaliation for engaging in conduct protected by Title VII.

In December 2005, the EEOC moved for a default judgment, which was granted in January 2006. The Defendant was required to pay a total of $77,116.12 ($25,535.86 in back pay, $1,630.26 in interest and $50,000 in compensatory and punitive damages). The Defendant was permanently enjoined from discriminating in violation of Title VII, required to post a non-discrimination notice, and required to provide 2 hours of Title VII training for its current and future owners, managers and supervisors.
