Kellar v. Dixon

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that “not just any discriminatory act by an employer constitutes discrimination under Title VII”
• holding that a suspension without pay is an adverse employment action even when the employee’s pay is later reinstated
• concluding that an employee’s transfer from a forklift operator to a standard railroad track laborer job was an adverse employment action because, in part, “the forklift operator position required more qualifications, which is an indication of prestige”
• noting that “part of making a Title VII plaintiff whole is compensating her for interest on the back pay, attorney’s fees, and emotional suffering”
• finding that a jury might reasonably conclude that reassignment to a less prestigious job qualifies as a materially adverse action even if “the former and present duties fall within the same job description.”
• finding remand appropriate where consideration of the remaining issues required “a careful examination of the entire record”
