“#EEOC files lawsuit over worker fired for refusing to be fingerprinted<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A Minnesota man refused to leave fingerprints \u2014 and got fired for it.<\/p>\n

As a result, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing a Minnesota firm on behalf of Henry Harrington, of Mound, who was sacked for refusing the company\u2019s requirement to be fingerprinted on religious grounds, the Star Tribune reported Friday.<\/a><\/p>\n

The EEOC suit against AscensionPoint Recovery Services, a debt recovery company, was filed this week. <\/p>\n

AscensionPoint had requested that workers be fingerprinted as a result of a background check requirement of one of its clients, according to the EEOC. <\/p>\n

Harrington, 37, however, told AscensionPoint in July 2017 that having his fingerprints captured was contrary to his Christian beliefs. He was fired the same day.<\/p>\n

The suit seeks back pay for Harrington from the time he was fired, and other financial compensation for \u201cemotional pain, suffering, inconvenience, loss of enjoyment of life and humiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAn employee should not have to choose between his faith and his livelihood,\u201d Gregory Gochanour, the EEOC\u2019s regional attorney in the Chicago District Office, said in a statement. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
