U.S. Department of Labor Settles Charges of Racial Discrimination with NCS Pearson, Inc
Mar 15 12

The U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs announced that NCS Pearson Inc. has agreed to settle allegations of hiring discrimination on the basis of race involving 67 Asian job applicants who were rejected for associate software developer positions at the company's Iowa City, Iowa, facility. During a scheduled compliance review, OFCCP determined that the company violated Executive Order 11246 in 2009 by using a hiring process that resulted in systemic discrimination against Asian job applicants at its Iowa City facility. Under the terms of a conciliation agreement signed by the company and OFCCP, the contractor will pay $100,000 in back wages and interest to the 67 affected job seekers, and will offer associate software developer positions and retroactive seniority to at least four class members as positions become available. Additionally, the company will revise its selection policies and procedures to ensure equal employment opportunities for future applicants.
