Clippings A jury awarded $240 million in compensatory and
punitive damages to thirty-two mentally disabled employees
whose rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act had
been violated by their employer. The award reflected the jurors’
indignation as the EEOC proved at trial that these vulnerable
employees had been subjected to regular physical and verbal
abuse, forced to reside in substandard housing, paid less than
other employees doing the same work, and compelled to sign
over their Social Security and disability checks to their
employer. However, the jury’s award was subsequently reduced
to $1.6 million because compensatory and punitive damages in
federal discrimination cases are capped by statute. Because this
was a small employer, damages were capped at $50,000 per
plaintiff (plus interest). Insofar as the employer, Henry’s
Turkey Service, is now defunct, it is unclear how much of even
the drastically reduced award will ever be recovered.
Practical Considerations What type of legal compliance strategy
would you advise an employer to adopt? Why? –
What are the cons of “Pushing the envelope” in areas of legal
uncertainty or erring on the side of caution?(more than one
cons)
