Voyant Beauty Resolves Allegation of Dismissing Employee for Deafness on First Day | |
Voyant Beauty, a beauty and personal care product company has settled a disability discrimination lawsuit with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by agreeing to pay $75,000. The lawsuit alleged that the company terminated an employee on her first day because she was deaf, an action that contravenes the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which mandates non-discrimination based on disability. The company reportedly dismissed the employee due to concerns about her ability to work safely in production at their Countryside, Illinois facility, despite her being qualified and capable of performing the job’s essential functions, with or without accommodation. As part of the settlement, besides the monetary compensation to the affected worker, Voyant will provide training to its managers on federal disability discrimination laws and will report on its hiring practices regarding applicants with disabilities to the EEOC. This case highlights the ADA’s requirements for employers to avoid discriminatory practices against workers with disabilities in all employment aspects, including hiring, firing, and training, and to provide reasonable accommodations as needed.
