The EEOC announced on 11 September 2023 that iTutorGroup, an English tutoring business serving students in China, would pay $365,000 to settle its age discrimination suit. The EEOC alleged the company programmed its application software to reject women aged 55 or older and men aged 60 or older automatically, turning away more than 200 qualified US applicants. The consent decree bans asking applicants for birth dates and sets at least five years of EEOC monitoring.

Why it matters

Employers were shown that the EEOC will sue over automated screening rules that exclude applicants by age, and that the employer pays.
