13-A | WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO IF I PROVE MY CLAIM OF SEX DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE FCRA?

If a determination of a violation of the FCRA (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0760/ch0760.htm) is made, damages you are eligible to receive include back pay, compensatory damages (including damages for emotional distress), reasonable attorney’s fees, and up to $100,000 in punitive damages in a civil action.¹⁰¹ An employer’s liability for back pay is limited to two years.¹⁰²

Footnotes

¹⁰¹ Fla. Stat. Ann. §760.11(5).
¹⁰² Fla. Stat. Ann. §760.11(9).

13-B | WHAT IS EQUITABLE RELIEF?

A remedy in equity is non-monetary relief, obtained when monetary damages cannot adequately redress the injury.¹⁰³

Footnotes

¹⁰³ Black’s Law Dictionary 1297 (Bryan A. Garner ed., 7th ed.,West 1999).

13-C | WHAT IS INJUNCTIVE RELIEF?

An injunction is a court order commanding or preventing an action.¹⁰⁴

Footnotes

¹⁰⁴ Id. at 788.

13-D | WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPENSATORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES?

Compensatory damages compensate for what you have lost, while punitive damages exist to punish the wrongdoer (in this case, an employer who has violated your rights under the FCRA).

13-E | AM I ENTITLED TO MY OLD JOB BACK?

Yes, the FCHR (http://fchr.state.fl.us/) can order your reinstatement, as well as ordering your former employer to cease and desist from any discriminatory actions.¹⁰⁵

13-F | WILL THIS BE THE FINAL RESULT?

Yes.

If a civil action is brought under the FCRA (http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=Ch0760/ch0760.htm), the commission no longer has jurisdiction over the complaint once it is in court.¹⁰⁶

Footnotes

¹⁰⁶ Fla. Stat. Ann. §760.11(5).

13-G | IF I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE RESULT, CAN I APPEAL?

Yes.

Final orders of the commission are subject to judicial review.¹⁰⁷

Congratulations! You're now booked up on Chapter 13 the FCRA Wage Project!

You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.

For instance, you might need to use this handbook in order to protect yourself from organizations/judges/lawyers who break the law (see this example of a Florida judge who outright committed perjury).

Nevertheless – and as always – please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
