Apple settles lawsuit over alleged discrimination against Jewish employee
Apple has agreed to pay $150,000 to settle a religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) last year. Here are the details.
Apple has reached a settlement of $150,000 with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to resolve allegations of religious discrimination against a former Virginia employee. The employee, who converted to Judaism and requested scheduling accommodations for Sabbath observance, was allegedly fired by Apple in 2021.
Despite receiving positive performance reviews, Apple denied the claims but agreed to the settlement. As part of the agreement, Apple will pay $80,000 in back pay and $70,000 in compensatory damages, along with providing religious discrimination training to specific employees in the Northern Virginia retail market.
