So, it follows that “positive discrimination”, notwithstanding its best intentions, can still be considered unlawful discrimination.

The penalties for discriminatory adverse action can result in a maximum penalty of $66,600 for every corporation violation and $13,320 for every individual violation. The penalty can also include order for injunctions, reinstatement of the employee and/or compensation.
