All Day Medical Care Clinic, LLC, a healthcare provider offering a variety of medical specialists who treat both walk-in and scheduled patients, will pay $75,000 and provide other relief to settle a federal disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced. The EEOC charged that All Day Medical Care Clinic violated federal law by failing to provide an employee with a disability with a reasonable accommodation and discharged her when it learned that she needed an accommodation. According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, the company fired a scheduling assistant, who on her first day of work, requested software to be installed on her assigned computer which would accommodate her vision impairments. The company refused to accommodate the employee’s vision impairments and instead terminated her for not disclosing her disability during her interview.
