The EEOC announced that a North Carolina based nursing home and chain will pay $300,000 to settle a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit in which the EEOC alleged the company had, since at least 2002, subjected pregnant employees to different terms and conditions than non-pregnant employees. Pregnant employees were allegedly required to obtain a full medical clearance in order to continue working.
