FAQ

Again, there are three elements employees have to prove: First: The employee engaged in protected activity. Second: The employer took an adverse employment action against the employee. Third: The employer took against the employee because of the protected activity.

Punitive Damages These damages are awarded in cases where your agency's conduct was particularly egregious or malicious. Many Title VII retaliation cases involve punitive damages. However, keep in mind that punitive damages are not available against federal, state, or local governments under Title VII.

Law § 297(4)(c), punitive damages may also be awarded to aggrieved individuals under the NYSHRL and by the authority of the NYSDHR. As mentioned earlier, punitive damages constitute additional penalties that are added as a way of punishing individuals who violate the law.

Retaliation is an unlawful payback by an employer for something an employee did that was lawful. Workers who are found to be victims of employer retaliation can sue in court for damages.

What remedies/damages are available in a Title VII lawsuit? Plaintiffs have a right to jury trials under Title VII, and successful plaintiffs can be awarded lost wages (both past and future), mental/emotional distress (compensatory) damages, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.

There are limits on the amount of compensatory and punitive damages a person can recover. These limits vary depending on the size of the employer: For employers with 15-100 employees, the limit is $50,000. For employers with 101-200 employees, the limit is $100,000.

For example, depending on the facts, it could be retaliation if an employer acts because of the employee's EEO activity to: reprimand the employee or give a performance evaluation that is lower than it should be; transfer the employee to a less desirable position; engage in verbal or physical abuse;

In order to establish a retaliation claim under Title VII, a plaintiff must demonstrate that: (1) she engaged in statutorily protected activity; (2) her employer took a materially adverse employment action against her; and (3) the protected activity and adverse job action are causally connected.

Under Title VI, the evidence must show that (1) an individual engaged in protected activity of which the recipient was aware; (2) the recipient took a significantly adverse action against the individual; and (3) a causal connection exists between the individual's protected activity and the recipient's adverse action.

Although the specific evidence can vary from case to case, your attorney can help you prove that: You've faced or witnessed some form of illegal harassment or discrimination. You took part in a protected activity. In response, your employer took adverse action against you (demotion, termination, etc.).
