Bank One Corporation

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed charges against the bank for allegedly violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by failing to properly accommodate a group of employees who were medically released to return to work after leaves of absence exceeding six months. Bank One terminated some employees without first attempting to determine on an individual basis whether they required additional job protection or other accommodations because of a disability. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 222 individuals who went on a long term disability leave of absence and whose employment was ultimately terminated. JPMorgan Chase & Co. will distribute $2.2 million among the individuals. JPMorgan Chase merged with Bank One and assumed negotiations following the merger of the two companies.
