FAQ
The Civil Rights Department (CRD) is responsible for enforcing state laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or employee because of a protected characteristic (see “What is Protected” below).
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The Department of Justice shares enforcement authority under Title VII with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The Department of Justice has authority to seek to remedy employment discrimination by state and local governments and their agencies and political subdivisions.
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.
Title VII also created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was charged to enforce Title VII and eventually several other federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
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.
