FACTS
Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleged that retailer Dillard’s Inc. illegally required employees to provide specific medical information to go on sick leave and limited the maximum amount of time available for medical leave. Specifically, a former employee at the company’s El Centro store alleged that she was fired when she refused to comply with a policy that required her to provide information on a medical diagnosis or treatment plan when she took a four-day sick leave. The alleged policies commenced in 2005. The EEOC, acting on behalf of the former employee and all other affected employees, sued Dillard’s Inc. and Dillard Store Services Inc. for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Dillard’s denied any wrongdoing. According to plaintiff’s counsel, defense counsel moved for summary judgment, but it was denied., The EEOC sought recovery of unspecified damages on behalf of the class of allegedly affected employees.
