The Jewel-Osco supermarket chain has been ordered to pay $400,000 in attorney's fees and costs for allegedly violating a consent decree obtained by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in connection with its leave policy, the agency said Friday. The EEOC said the decree had been entered to resolve prior agency litigation filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act, in which the EEOC charged that the chain, which is now operated by Boise, Idaho-based New Albertsons Inc., routinely failed to provide reasonable accommodations to employees seeking to return to work from a disability leave.
