The problem(s) or issue(s) at the core of the case: Kenneth Jorgenson had been an Automotive Mechanic II with the Equipment Services Department of Maricopa County in Arizona since July 1, 1999. About three years later on May 16, 2003 Ken Jorgenson became injured job as he lifted a battery out of a box for Kenneth Jorgenson things at work became complicated. On June 27, Jorgenson underwent surgery and was in hospitalized eight days; he subsequently returned to work on light-duty status on November 11, 2003. For a while, things seems to be all right however, about one year later Jorgenson was reinjured on March 6, 2004. The county moved to terminate Kenneth Jorgenson 's employment in April 2004, but

Jennifer alleges that she was terminated because of her pregnancy. She neglects the fact that Greene’s discharged her because her position, junior executive secretary, is redundant to the company. It is transparently that Jennifer is a member of protected class and was dismissed. Yet Greene’s did not violate The Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) under Title VII. According to Title VII 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a), it is an unlawful employment practice if an employer discharges any individual because of such individual 's race,

The Court noting that balancing the need to compensate victims and deter violations of the ADEA with the employer's lawful prerogatives cannot be done with precision in after-acquired evidence cases, it provided general guidelines in assessing the appropriate award of back pay in such cases. The Court flatly rejected an absolute bar on back pay, and held that back pay should be the "beginning point" in the formulation of a remedy and should run "from the date of the unlawful discharge to the date the new information was discovered." 115 S.Ct. at 886. The Court further recognized that in formulating an appropriate order for relief, the trial court may take "into account extraordinary equitable circumstances that affect the legitimate interests of either party." 115 S.Ct. at 886. The concern that employers might routinely undertake extensive discovery into an employee's background or job performance to resist ADEA claims is not insubstantial, but the courts' authority to award attorney's fees under 216(b) and 626(b) and to invoke Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 in appropriate cases will likely deter most abuses. P. 10. The ADEA incorporates some features of both Title VII and the Fair Labor Standards Act, which

Upon investigation in to the claim of constructive discharge under the Title VII Civil Rights Act of 1964 my research found this claim to be irrelevant and unjustified. A constructive discharge happens when an employee is legally justified in claiming that he/she was forced to resign because the employer has made working conditions intolerable.

Respondent Union Pacific Railroad Company ("Union Pacific"), submits this position statement in response to the discrimination charge filed by, Terry Scharfe ("Complainant"). The Complainant claims that Union Pacific discriminated against in retaliation for a prior complaint of harassment and on the basis of disability when he was discharged from his position as a Special Agent with the Union Pacific Police Department.

129 S. Ct. 2658, 2664 174 L. Ed. 2d 490, 505. This vague standard will undoubtedly spur more litigation as employers struggle to decipher what “a strong basis in evidence” exactly means. Furthermore, employers must now establish a Title VII claim against themselves before they can act.

The lawsuit that I have chosen is about a company not hiring someone because of their race. Tyeastia

The last decade has produced an explosion of racial employment discrimination lawsuits. These lawsuits have resulted in record-breaking settlements. By federally mandating every business to review the history, impact and proposed policy of Article VII these lawsuits may subside. Reviewing Title VII is a step corporate America must soon make or continue to loose much needed revenue. Our team will discuss the history of Title VII, the impact of Title VII in the workplace, who is and who is not covered under Title VII as well as propose policies that companies should have in place to avoid Title VII violations.

     If an employee alleges discrimination in the workplace, they may file a complaint with the EEOC. As the claims process furthers, the EEOC will move forward and file suit in federal court if reasonable cause is shown and no conciliation is made between the employer and employee. If no reasonable cause is shown, the EEOC will send the employee a right to sue letter. In alleging discrimination, it is important for both parties to be aware of the theories by which a lawsuit may be brought. A discrimination lawsuit must fit under disparate treatment or disparate impact in order to be recognized under Title VII.

Discriminating against anyone based of their sex, religion, disability, or any other personal characteristics is illegal. David Mitchell was a black officer who stood up for this law, sadly he got fired for it. Mitchell and another training officer were called to a house that filled with the act of domestic violence. When the house by his partner was described as “Jigaboo trailer trash sh-”. Jigaboo is a racial slur for black people, and Nancies is a derogatory term used

According to the Legal Dictionary (2014), “The Wards Cove decision was severely criticized by Civil Rights leaders, who believed the Supreme Court had made disparate impact cases almost impossible to win” (p.1). The Civil Rights Act of 1991 was in effect. This act proposed that employees must have proof in showing that the employer committed a disparate impact crime. No longer would it allow the victims to argue against the company based on their own views. At the same time the owner must show evidence that there is a crime committed based on these findings. Title VII along with the Civil Rights Act would dismiss any further rulings on this matter. The Supreme Court has adjusted some of the compensation methods for the disparate impact theory. It is against the law for an employer to allow different standards, conditions, or terms of the job to their workers. This

There are four major Equal Employment Opportunity Laws enforced in this country: the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967, and The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Gomez-Mejia et al, 2012). The Civil Rights Act has been amended several times with the last being in 1991 (Gomez-Mejia et al, 2012). The main idea that ties all of these laws together is that “employment decisions should not be based on characteristics such as race, sex, age, or disability” (Gomez-Mejia et al, 2012). Case law formed from Title VII has created a protected class of those who have suffered discrimination in the past and it includes “African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos,

Another law the plant may be violating is the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. This law “forbids discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin” (Noe, Hollenback, Gerhart & Wright, 2011). According to the case, the plant employs approximately 1,500 workers and one third of the workforce is Hispanic (Fransson, Gareett & Noll, 2005). The plant mostly hires Hispanic to

As you know, Cowgirl Rides was established by your client, Ms. Louis De Palma, in response to the recent “surge” of sexual assault and sexual abuse allegations within the Nashville rideshare and taxi industry. While the goal of your client’s business is commendable, Cowgirl Rides implements hiring policies which impermissibly discriminates against prospective employees on the basis of sex. This discrimination, which is directed specifically at driver applicants, is in clear violation of the statutory language provided in Title VII. Specifically, the language states that he refusal to hire any individual because of such individual’s sex is an unlawful employment practice.

In the cases which were instituted prior to independence like A Dinohamy v. WL Blahamy the Privy Council laid down a broad rule stating that, “where a man and a women are proved to have lived together as a man and wife, the law will presume, unless the contrary be clearly proved, that they were living together in consequence of a valid marriage and not in a state of “concubinage” The same principle was reiterated in the case of Mohabhat Ali v. Mohammad Ibrahim Khan
