Description

An individual employed as an HVAC installer for a heating and cooling company with fewer than 50 employees was terminated after five days of employment. The termination occurred shortly after the employee raised concerns about needing adequate break time to manage menstrual health needs while working in the field, with the owner stating he does not provide special accommodations to anyone regardless of gender. The employee, the first woman hired for this role at the company, had received no prior disciplinary action and alleges the termination was based on gender discrimination.
