US EditionO'Reilly Auto Parts to Pay $5.6M for Denial of Pregnancy Accommodations to Washington Workers
O'Reilly will pay $5.6 million to more than 50 women and must adopt new pregnancy accommodation policies and management training under a consent decree.
- On Wednesday, the Washington State Attorney General's Office announced Missouri-based O'Reilly Auto Parts will pay $5.6 million to over 50 women for pregnancy discrimination and retaliation.
- Following complaints, the Washington Attorney General's Office filed suit in August 2023, alleging O'Reilly Auto Parts systematically failed to provide pregnancy accommodations and retaliated against workers.
- The consent decree requires O'Reilly Auto Parts to implement a pregnancy accommodation and anti-discrimination policy in Washington, train managers, human resources and corporate employees, and update its automated human resources system to include Washington-specific procedures.
- Under the settlement, O'Reilly must submit biannual compliance reports to the Washington Attorney General's Office for four years, avoiding the March 16 trial.
- O'Reilly Auto Parts operates approximately 170 stores in Washington across 29 counties; between 2017 and 2024, women in non-managerial positions said they came forward to prevent similar treatment.
