Firing an Employee Because He Needs Cancer Radiation Treatment Is Discriminatory

3/16/2021

 
The EEOC recently settled a lawsuit against Optimal Solutions & Technologies, Inc. after the EEOC alleged that the company terminated one of its employees after he disclosed a disability.  The EEOC’s lawsuit claimed that one of the senior administrators working at Optimal Solutions told his supervisor that he had a benign brain tumor, and that this brain tumor would require radiation treatment for about six weeks.  The employee also informed his supervisor that the treatments would occur after work and would not impact his job.  Despite this, and despite the employees continued strong work performance, Optimal Solutions terminated his employment just a month after he informed Optimal Solutions of his disability and only one week before his radiation treatment was scheduled to begin.  This alleged conduct is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employers from firing employees because of a disability or because of their requests for reasonable accommodations due to a disability.  EEOC v. Optimal Solutions & Technologies, No. 8:17-cv-02861 (D. Md.).
