The EEOC investigation determined there was reasonable cause to believe Circle K denied to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant and disabled workers. These workers were subject to involuntary unpaid leave and faced retaliation.
“We are pleased Circle K worked cooperatively with the EEOC to reach this conciliation agreement and, through our joint efforts, we have been able to bring about real change at Circle K without resorting to litigation,” EEOC Chair Charlotte A. Burrows said.
