Walmart was fined $420,000 for terminating a person with Down syndrome and was compelled to pay.
In 2015, Walmart fired a Down syndrome employee from a store due to "frequent absenteeism."
Due to handicap discrimination, a judge ordered Walmart to reimburse the employee $420,000 and rehire her.
Walmart's request for a fresh trial in connection with a case alleging handicap discrimination has been denied by a federal judge.
A federal jury found that Walmart had broken the Americans with Disabilities Act in July 2021.
She had nearly 16 years of service with the business.
She received a $125 million damage award from a federal jury, but the judge later lowered this to $300,000.
Additionally, Walmart was mandated to pay Spaeth an additional $119,660 in March, including past wages.
