FAQ

While similar in protecting against unjust discrimination, Section 1981 differs from Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Simply put, Title VII does not apply to every employer. In fact, as a general rule, it typically only covers private and public sector employers with 15 or more employees. These employees may include: Part-time employees.

In fact, the title defines an employee as simply "an individual employed by an employer." Therefore, assuming they work — or are applying to work — for a covered employer as outlined above, Title VII provides discrimination protection for all employees, former employees, and those applying to be employees.

Plaintiff-Appellant Warnether Muhammad filed this Title VII suit against his employer, Caterpillar, Inc., alleging that his co-workers created a hostile work environment based in part on his sexual orientation, and that his supervisor unlawfully retaliated against him by suspending him after he complained about the ...

The employee must first present evidence that he is a member of a protected class, he was qualified for the position he held, he suffered an adverse employment action such as being fired, and that he was replaced with another worker who is not a member of that protected class.

In general, a complaint of employment discrimination must be filed within three years from the date an alleged discriminatory act occurred. You must file a complaint with CRD even if you wish to file a case directly in court.

The chances of winning your discrimination case can vary dramatically depending on the particular circumstances you face. When a lot of evidence has accumulated against your employer, such as emails and history of discriminatory remarks in front of multiple witnesses, your chances of winning a lawsuit are higher.
