Description: New York, New York civil rights lawyers represented the Plaintiff who sued the Defendant on an employment discrimination theory.

"Employment discrimination law is a body of law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of certain protected characteristics. Protected characteristics can vary by jurisdiction, but some common examples include race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and sexual orientation.

Employment discrimination law is designed to protect employees from unfair treatment in the workplace. It applies to all employers, including private employers, state and local governments, and labor unions.

There are a number of different types of employment discrimination, including:

Hiring discrimination: This occurs when an employer refuses to hire an applicant because of their protected characteristic.
Promotion discrimination: This occurs when an employer refuses to promote an employee because of their protected characteristic.
Compensation discrimination: This occurs when an employer pays an employee less than another employee because of their protected characteristic.
Termination discrimination: This occurs when an employer fires an employee because of their protected characteristic.
Hostile work environment: This occurs when an employee is subjected to unwelcome harassment or discrimination on the basis of their protected characteristic.

If an employee believes that they have been discriminated against in the workplace, they can file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is a federal agency that enforces employment discrimination laws. The EEOC will investigate the complaint and, if it finds that discrimination has occurred, it may take action against the employer.

Employees may also be able to file a lawsuit against their employer for employment discrimination. If an employee is successful in a lawsuit, they may be awarded damages, such as back pay, front pay, and emotional distress damages.

Here are some tips for employees to protect themselves from employment discrimination:

Keep a record of all employment-related actions, such as job postings, performance reviews, and disciplinary actions.
Document any instances of discrimination or harassment. This could include keeping a journal, saving emails, or recording conversations.
Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or coworker about what is happening.
Report any discrimination or harassment to your supervisor or human resources department.
If you are not satisfied with the response from your employer, you can file a complaint with the EEOC or file a lawsuit in court.

If you have any questions about employment discrimination law or your rights as an employee, you should consult with an attorney."

Outcome: The Court having been advised on November 8, 2023 that all claims asserted herein have been settled in principle, it is ORDERED that the above-entitled action be and is hereby DISMISSED and discontinued without costs, and without prejudice to the right to reopen the action within sixty days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated. To be clear, any application to reopen must be filed by the aforementioned deadline; any application to reopen filed thereafter may be denied solely on that basis. Further, requests to extend the deadline to reopen are unlikely to be granted. If the parties wish for the Court to retain jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing any settlement agreement, they must submit the settlement agreement to the Court by the deadline to reopen to be "so ordered" by the Court. Per Paragraph 5.B of the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, unless the Court orders otherwise, the Court will not retain jurisdiction to enforce a settlement agreement unless it is made part of the public record. Any pending motions are moot. All conferences are canceled. The Clerk of Court is directed to close the case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 11/9/2023) (tg) (Entered: 11/09/2023)
