2. Retail giant Target Corp. will pay $160,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit in which the company was accused of failing to provide reasonable accommodations to a cart attendant with cerebral palsy at an Orange County store, it was announced Tuesday. According to the suit filed in 2009 by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Target hired Jeremy Schott in 2002 as a part-time stocker. Schott, who suffers from cerebral palsy, has limited intellectual functioning and a seizure disorder, took a medical leave in 2004 due to a seizure, and his work hours were cut to as few as eight per week when he returned, according to the lawsuit. His disabilities required that he be reminded to do things and that a job coach assist him at times with his duties and job-related meetings, according to the lawsuit. The commission's lawsuit said that while Schott succeeded early on with help from a job coach and task reminders, Target later failed to ensure the presence of a coach during work-related and job performance meetings.
