The EEOC determines whether a situation is illegal by determining if the alleged events violate… The Civil Rights Act of 1964… The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA)... and The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Let's look at some cases of hostile work environments brought to court in 2022.
A company that we will dub Pancake Lovers LLC in this video is a Florida-based company that operates as a Denny's franchisee in the U.S. At a Florida restaurant, a Mexican employee endured a hostile work environment. The harassment focused on his national origin. The situation resulted in the employee’s termination.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin. As a result of this blatant violation, the EEOC filed a lawsuit in May 2022. The lawsuit resulted in a three-year consent decree approved by the federal court.
Pancake Lovers LLC needed to pay the victim $45,000 in monetary relief.The company also needed to…Adopt and distribute a policy prohibiting discrimination on the basis of national origin… Provide specialized training about employee rights and complaint procedures to Human resources personnel, Managers, and Employees… Provide reports of any complaints of national origin discrimination to the EEOC… and tell the EEOC any actions it took in response to future complaints
A company we will call Lending Inc. is in a world of trouble. Allegedly, the company subjected an employee, hereby referred to as Jenkins, to a racially hostile work environment. They also failed to accommodate Jenkins’s disability and subsequently fired her. Here is what happened: From August 2019 through September 2019, the branch manager of a South Carolina location made severe and pervasive racial comments.
The manager subjected Jenkins to racial harassment directed at Jenkins’s African American status. Jenkins reported the offensive comments directly to two different managers. Despite speaking up, the company did not take any action to stop the harassment. Jenkins then tried to report the hostile working conditions to the employer’s employee hotline but her phone calls were never returned.
To make matters worse, Lending Inc. would not let Jenkins return to work after taking unpaid leave for a disability-related surgery. Allegedly, this is because of Jenkins’s need for crutches or a wheelchair post-surgery. The company told her that she could return to work when she did not have any restrictions and would remain unpaid during the absence. This was the company’s way to force Jenkins to extend her unpaid leave and they eventually fired her.
Lending Inc. blatantly violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act. As a result, the EEOC filed suit. The lawsuit seeks monetary relief for Jenkins, including compensatory and punitive damages. The lawsuit also seeks injunctive relief against the company to end ongoing racial or disability harassment and to take steps to prevent such unlawful conduct in the future. As of July 2022, there has not been any settlement of the lawsuit.
A company we will call Creek Healthcare is a skilled nursing facility located in California. They provide short or long-term care for residents and patients. The EEOC charged the organization with violating federal law. According to the lawsuit, the hostile work environment had gone on since at least 2018. Creek healthcare allowed residents, employees, and a supervisor to racially harass African American coworkers. The harassment involved repeated and frequent offensive race-based remarks. There were also many slurs directed at staff.
The employer failed to respond to multiple complaints of harassment. Creek Healthcare told employees to tolerate the abusive remarks and endure the hostile work environment. The company retaliated against one employee after said employee complained of racial harassment.
Both the work environment and the response violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.The act prohibits discrimination on the basis of race and any form of retaliation against those who face discrimination.
