How does EEOC Settles ADA Suit for $36K After Cheerwine Bottler Imposed a Premature Agility Test and Impermissible Health Inquiries affect hazwoper physical examination in North Carolina?

Piedmont Cheerwine Bottling Company will pay $36,000 to settle an EEOC disability-discrimination lawsuit over how it handled a workplace medical exam at its Colfax, North Carolina facility. According to the EEOC, an employee whose multiple sclerosis medication had deteriorated her hip cartilage — causing her to walk with a limp — was prematurely required to take an agility test and asked impermissible questions about her health. Although she met the physical requirements of the job, the company placed her on unpaid leave pending full medical clearance, then rejected her doctor's return-to-work note and terminated her. Under the two-year consent decree (EEOC v. Piedmont Cheerwine Bottling Company, No. 1:25-cv-00821, M.D.N.C.), the company must revise its written anti-discrimination policies, train managers, supervisors, and HR staff, post an employee notice, and report to the EEOC. The case is a reminder that fitness-for-duty and agility testing must be job-related and consistent with business necessity, and must not become a vehicle for disability-related medical inquiries barred by the ADA. Status: effective. Employers should review the source documentation for full details. BlueHive monitors North Carolina regulatory changes and updates employer compliance workflows accordingly.

How often is a HAZWOPER physical required?
