LW 1 COMPLETE DISCUSSION
Civil rights law provides for employee protections against discrimination in many situations. The legal criteria must be strictly adhered to in order to qualify for the protections afforded under the law. What happens to civil rights enforcement if a part of the workforce is unprotected by civil rights laws? Will the public policy exception to the employment-at-will doctrine expand to fill gaps in public policy to the point where exclusions will be rendered meaningless?
LW 2 REPLY TO DISCUSSION
Some people are exempted from Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This was not the first piece of legislation constructed to help protect against racial discrimination. Some of these laws known as “The Reconstruction of Civil Rights Acts” were created before Title VII, and are still used today! For example, these laws could be used if you were an employee not covered by Title VII. Codified as 42 United States Code sections 1981, 1983, and 1985. They enforce laws that forbid racial discrimination in the creation and enforcement of contracts and prohibit the denial of civil rights based on race by individuals acting on behalf of the government.
Specifically, sections 1981 and 1983 are most commonly used outside of Title VII in employment settings. One benefit of these codes is the statute of limitations extends to 4 years, compared to only 180 days with Title VII.
LW 3 REPLY TO DISCUSSION
Good evening class,
I loved reading through all of these! Does anyone know where to find examples of the statute of limitations expiring or extending on certain cases? I feel as though these would be beneficial for understanding what would and wouldn’t be acceptable. Especially with how many discrimination cases come up every year and how things can change even in just two years time.
I do feel that navigating the court system and learning how to go about the process can be tricky. If I had not been in the field I were, I would have no idea what my rights or next steps were. My previous employers Human Resources Departments, believe it or not, are not very friendly people. Or in my eyes, were not approachable. This can be very concerning for employees to feel as though they cannot bring any matters to their attention.
Hoping to discover what our rights as HR are as well when offering advice.
