RENHILL STAFFING TO PAY $580,000 TO SETTLE EEOC AGE, RACE AND RETALIATION SUIT

INDIANAPOLIS – A Fort Wayne staffing company will settle an age, race and retaliation discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today. The company will pay a total of $580,000 and will also pay up to $5,000 in settlement administrative expenses.

The EEOC charged in its suit (Case no. 1:08-cv-0082-TS in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Fort Wayne Division) that Renhill Services, Inc. violated federal law by failing to refer African American applicants and applicants age 40 for work assignments. Further, the EEOC said, Renhill unlawfully retaliated against employees who objected to these referral practices.
