Remedies For Employment Discrimination–Fort Worth, Texas Employment Law Defense Attorneys

Remedies For Employment Discrimination

 

Whenever discrimination is found, the goal of the law is to put the victim of discrimination in the same position (or nearly the same) that he or she would have been if the discrimination had never occurred.

 

The types of relief will depend upon the discriminatory action and the effect it had on the victim. For example, if someone is not selected for a job or a promotion because of discrimination, the remedy may include placement in the job and/or back pay and benefits the person would have received.

 

The employer also will be required to stop any discriminatory practices and take steps to prevent discrimination in the future.

 

A victim of discrimination also may be able to recover attorney’s fees, expert witness fees, and court costs.

 

Remedies May Include Compensatory & Punitive Damages

 

Compensatory and punitive damages may be awarded in cases involving intentional discrimination based on a person’s race, color, national origin, sex (including pregnancy), religion, disability, or genetic information.

 

Compensatory damages pay victims for out-of-pocket expenses caused by the discrimination (such as costs associated with a job search or medical expenses) and compensate them for any emotional harm suffered (such as mental anguish, inconvenience, or loss of enjoyment of life).

 

Punitive damages may be awarded to punish an employer who has committed an especially malicious or reckless act of discrimination.

 

Limits On Compensatory & Punitive Damages

 

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 employers with 201-500 employees, the limit is $200,000.

For employers with more than 500 employees, the limit is $300,000.

 

Age Or Sex Discrimination & Liquidated Damages

 

In cases involving intentional age discrimination, or in cases involving intentional sex-based wage discrimination under the Equal Pay Act, victims cannot recover either compensatory or punitive damages, but may be entitled to “liquidated damages.”

 

Liquidated damages may be awarded to punish an especially malicious or reckless act of discrimination. The amount of liquidated damages that may be awarded is equal to the amount of back pay awarded the victim.

Taprite Fassco to Pay $72,500 to Settle EEOC Sex, Disability and Retaliation Discrimination Suit in Texas–Fort Worth Employment Law Attorneys

PRESS RELEASE

7-31-15

Taprite Fassco to Pay $72,500 to Settle EEOC Sex, Disability and Retaliation Discrimination Suit

Company Demoted Employee Because of Arthritis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Federal Agency Charged

 

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Taprite Fassco Manufacturing, Inc., a San Antonio-based manufacturer of CO2 regulators in the soda and beer industries, will pay $72,500 and furnish other relief  to settle a gender, disability and retaliation-based discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the agency announced today.

 

The EEOC’s lawsuit charged that Taprite Fassco subjected a female quality control employee to sex-based wage discrimination, disability discrimination and unlawful retaliation after she raised questions to management concerning wage disparity between the sexes.  The suit said that Taprite Fassco paid a male over three dollars an hour more than the female employee for performing substantially equal jobs at the same location.  The federal agency claimed that the company also retaliated against the female employee for complaining about the wage discrimination by demoting her into a less favorable and lower-paying position that she could not perform because of physical limitations resulting from rheumatoid arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome.  The EEOC’s lawsuit also alleged that Taprite Fassco denied the female employee’s requests for reasonable accommodation for her disability such as reassignment to her previous position that would have permitted her to continue working.

 

The claims resolved by the settlement of the EEOC’s enforcement action include violations of multiple federal anti-discrimination statutes, including the Equal Pay Act (EPA), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).  The EEOC filed suit, Civil Action No. 5:14-cv-00801, in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.

 

“Addressing sex-based pay disparity in the workplace remains a priority for the EEOC,” said David Rivela, senior trial attorney in the EEOC’s San Antonio Field Office (SAFO).  “The EEOC will vigorously enforce the EPA and Title VII when we find an employer has no justifiable basis for paying a female less than a male counterpart.  Employees have a right to seek redress of practices they believe are unlawful without repercussions that cost them even greater economic loss.”

 

Eduardo Juarez, EEOC supervisory trial attorney, added, “This case is important in that it puts a light on what continues to be a significant deficit in the earnings of women in the workplace when compared to men.  The company’s decision to also deny her reasonable accommodation request so she could continue working exacerbated the problem.”

 

As part of the consent decree resolving the suit (entered by Judge David A. Ezra), Taprite Fassco will pay $72,500 to the former female employee.  The company also agreed to ensure that its employment policies conform with the law, implement training which specifically addresses sex and disability discrimination, and post EEO notices at the workplace.

 

EEOC’s Dallas district director, Janet Elizondo, said, “We appreciate Taprite Fassco’s efforts to resolve this lawsuit quickly, fairly and without incurring unnecessary litigation expenses.  This settlement, including the implementation of an effective policy against discrimination and EEO training, demonstrates a commitment to provide a non-discriminatory work environment for its employees.”

 

The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.  Further information about the agency is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Is Workers’ Compensation Coverage Required in Texas? The answer is NO–Fort Worth, Texas Nonsubscriber Defense Attorneys

Information for Texas Nonsubscribers

Is Workers’ Compensation Coverage Required in Texas? The answer is NO! But there are some things every Texas employer should know.

 

  1. Texas, unlike other states, does not require an employer to have workers’ compensation coverage.
  2. Subscribing to workers’ compensation insurance puts a limit on the amount and type of compensation that an injured employee may receive – the limits are set in the law.
  3. Being a “non-subscriber”, i.e., going “bare” or without coverage, leaves an employer open to personal injury lawsuits from employees who are injured on the job – the damages and attorney’s fees are almost unlimited – in addition, certain defenses available in most personal injury lawsuits, such as assumption of the risk, contributory negligence, “last clear chance”, and co-worker negligence, are not available to a non-subscriber in a job injury case.
  4. At hire, notify each new hire of coverage (Notice 6 (PDF)) or non-coverage (Notice 5 (PDF)) and post the same notice along with other required workplace posters – also, let each new hire know that they have five days to elect to waive their right to workers’ compensation benefits and retain their common-law right to sue the employer for a work-related injury – the notice must let the employee know that if they give up workers’ compensation, they give up the right to receive medical or income benefits under the workers’ compensation law (the Division of Workers’ Compensation at the TDI has a form available for that purpose at http://www.tdi.state.tx.us/forms/dwc/newemployeenotice.pdf (PDF)).
  5. If an employer discontinues its workers’ compensation coverage, it must inform employees and the Workers’ Compensation Division of the Texas Department of Insurance as soon as possible via a Form DWC005 (PDF).
  6. Under workers’ compensation law, an injury or illness is covered, without regard to fault, if it was sustained in the course and scope of employment, i.e., while furthering or carrying on the employer’s business; this includes injuries sustained during work-related travel.
  7. Injuries are not covered if they were the result of the employee’s horseplay, willful criminal acts or self-injury, intoxication from drugs or alcohol, voluntary participation in an off-duty recreational activity, a third party’s criminal act if directed against the employee for a personal reason unrelated to the work, or acts of God.
  8. Injured workers must file injury reports within thirty days of the injury, must appeal the first impairment rating within 90 days of its issuance, and must file the formal paperwork for the workers’ compensation claim within one year of the injury. If the work-related nature of the injury or illness was not immediately apparent, those deadlines run from the date on which the employee should have known the problem was work-related.
  9. Three main types of benefits: medical benefits, income benefits, and death benefits – each type is statutorily defined and limited.
  10. The law places a heavy emphasis on return-to-work programs, since all studies show that recovery is faster and more efficient if an employee has some kind of useful work to do.
  11. An employee’s refusal of suitable light-duty work can stop the payment of workers’ compensation benefits.
  12. A job injury can involve other laws as well, such as the FMLA and the ADA – in multiple-law situations, whatever law provides the greatest protection should be applied (see “Medical Leave-Related Laws”).
  13. Chapter 451 of the workers’ compensation law prohibits discrimination or retaliatory action against employees who have filed workers’ compensation claims or are somehow in the process of doing so – stray remarks can be harmful to a company’s legal position in a Chapter 451 lawsuit, so never let anyone with your company be heard talking about a claim in terms of it being a problem, since any negative remarks can be twisted and spun to make the employer look as if it intended to retaliate against the claimant.
  14. Design your paid leave policies to avoid “benefits stacking”, i.e., the combining of workers’ compensation and leave-related benefits in such a way that the employee ends up getting more than 100% of his or her regular wage each week – for a sample policy, see “Limits on Leave Benefits” in “The A to Z of Personnel Policies” in this book.
  15. Employees on workers’ compensation do not have to be allowed to continue accruing leave or other benefits, but should be treated at least as favorably as other absent employees in that regard.
  16. Loss of health insurance benefits while on workers’ compensation leave is a COBRA-qualifying event.
  17. If a workers’ compensation claimant files an unemployment claim, he or she will be disqualified from unemployment benefits unless the workers’ compensation benefits are for “permanent, partial disability”, which translates to “impairment income benefits” under the current law – in addition, the claimant’s medical ability to work would be in question and should be raised by the employer as an issue in its response to the unemployment claim.

Basis for Insurance Premiums-NIOSH–Fort Worth, Texas Workers’ Compensation Defense Attorneys

Basis for Insurance Premiums

Throughout the history of workers’ compensation in the U.S., premiums for insurance policies have been determined by a set of factors related to
employer risks, primarily the mix of occupational classes they employ. Employers are assigned to work classifications according to state-sanctioned
rating bureau guidelines. In general, employers in classifications with greater injury and illness risks and loss costs have higher “manual rates.”
For example, a roofing contractor generally has a higher manual rate than a bank. Recommended or specified manual rates must be approved by
the state regulators in most cases. Additionally, those employers which qualify for experience rating and that have a history of greater injury
and illness claims and costs within the risk classes are charged even higher premiums through the application of an experience modification factor.
Those employers with fewer claims and lower loss costs benefit from lower premiums.

Participation Of Attorneys In Workers’ Compensation Lawsuit–Texas Workers’ Compensation Attorneys

TEXAS ATTORNEYS AND ATTORNEY FEES IN WORKERS’ COMP LAWSUIT
Participation Of Attorneys In Workers’ Compensation Claims
TWCC v. Texas Builders’ Insurance Company, 1999 WL 394876 (Tex. App. – Austin) June 17, 1999
A Texas workers’ compensation claimant sought compensation for on-the-job injuries and was successful before the TWCC. TBIC filed suit and when Guerro failed to answer, TBIC was given a no-answer default judgment. The TWCC then denied TBIC’s claim for reimbursement from the Subsequent Injury Fund because the modification of the Appeals Panel order came as a result of a default judgment rather than a trial on the merits. The trial court determined that the TBIC was entitled to reimbursement.
The Austin Court of Appeals affirmed and discussed the language of Section 410.205(c), the applicable provision in this case. The Court also discussed the fact that the Legislature has addressed the situation in this case by enacting Section 410.257(e).
With respect to attorneys and attorney fees, the Court reiterated language from the Garcia case concerning participation of attorneys in workers’ compensation cases.
