The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced that Valley Isle Motors, Ltd, a car dealership in Maui, discriminated against an employee by failing to hire him for a salesperson position because of a perceived mental disability. The EEOC alleged the company denied the employee a salesperson position because of prescription medications he was taking, despite the employee having submitted normal medical test results to the company and being medically authorized to work without any restrictions.
