Aurora Pro Services, a North Carolina-based firm offering roofing, plumbing and other home repair services, has agreed to pay a $50,000 settlement to two employees who claimed they were terminated after refusing to attend daily “cult-like” Christian prayer meetings.
In an announcement from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the company agreed last week to settle, which was first brought to the agency’s attention last year, resulting in the EEOC filing a religious harassment, discrimination and retaliation lawsuit in June 2022.
