Progressive North Ridgeville, LLC, a healthcare facility in North Ridgeville, Ohio, agreed to pay $5,000 and take corrective action to resolve a race discrimination charge filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced.
The EEOC’s investigation found reasonable cause to believe the facility violated federal law by firing an employee because of her race. Such alleged conduct violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race.
Following its investigation, the EEOC facilitated a pre-litigation conciliation process resulting in a voluntary resolution. In addition to monetary relief, Progressive North Ridgeville agreed to provide Title VII training to all its management, administrative, and human resources employees involved in hiring, firing and disciplining employees in Northeast Ohio.
