Injunctive relief

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) permits injunctive relief for an unlawful employment practice charged in the complaint.

Shirley v. Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife · filed 2025-05-09(g)(1)

Title VII permits the court to order injunctive relief “[i]f the court finds that the [employer] has intentionally engaged in or is intentionally engaging in an unlawful employment practice charged in the complaint.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e–5(g)(1). Here, as Defendants point out, “harassment” and “retaliation” are not “charged in the complaint.”

EEOC v. Drivers Management, LLC · filed 2025-07-10(g)(1)

The district court did not abuse its discretion by imposing injunctive relief. The injunction mandates that Werner report records of deaf applicants to the EEOC every six months (at a minimum) for three years and that it retain records regarding such applications.

Section 2000e-5 provides injunctive relief for ADA employment claims through § 12117(a).

Leskovisek v. Ill. Dep't of Transp. · filed 2018-04-10

Injunctive relief is an available remedy under the ADA. See 42 U.S.C. § 12117(a) (incorporating the remedies in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, including 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5, which provides for injunctive relief).

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) permits injunctive relief for intentional discrimination when the violation may recur, but the relief must be tailored to the violation.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. The Princess Martha · filed 2026-01-12(g)(1)

Accordingly, some injunctive relief is warranted. Nonetheless, the scope of the relief Plaintiff requests is overbroad and is not narrowly tailored to the single violation in this case.

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) authorizes injunctions against unlawful employment practices, but the requested relief must be tailored to the harm shown.

Buccieri · filed 2026-03-30(g)(1)

Where the Court determines that an employer has intentionally engaged in an unlawful employment practice, Title VII § 706 authorizes the Court, “to ‘enjoin the respondent from engaging in such unlawful employment practice’ and to order ‘equitable relief as the court deems appropriate.’” EEOC, 2020 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 57073, at *33 (quoting 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g)(1)). ... Here, the Court must deny Plaintiff’s request for injunctive relief because the “obey the law” requests are overly broad and vague, and Plaintiff has not sufficiently developed the record to warrant case specific relief.

EEOC suits and arbitration agreements

Law changed since EEOC v. Waffle House, Inc., 534 U.S. 279 (2002), reversed the restriction on victim-specific relief; the employee’s arbitration agreement does not bar the EEOC from seeking it in court.

The EEOC may sue in its own name despite a charging party's arbitration agreement, but it cannot seek make-whole relief for that party in court.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Waffle House, Incorporated · filed 1999-10-06(f)(1)

Recognizing that the EEOC is vested with enforcement authority both to seek broad-based injunctive relief in the public interest and to seek "make-whole" relief on behalf of a charging party, we conclude (1) that the EEOC cannot be compelled, by reason of an arbitration agreement between the charging party and his employer, to arbitrate its claims, but (2) that, to the extent that the EEOC seeks to obtain "make-whole" relief on behalf of a charging party who is subject to an arbitration agreement, it is precluded from seeking such relief in a judicial forum.

Section 2000e-5(f)(1) gives the EEOC control of its enforcement suit and permits it to seek relief for an employee in court despite the employee’s arbitration agreement.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Waffle House, Inc. · filed 2002-01-15(f)(1)

The statute clearly makes the EEOC the master of its own case and confers on the agency the authority to evaluate the strength of the public interest at stake. Absent textual support for a contrary view, it is the public agency's province—not that of the court—to determine whether public resources should be committed to the recovery of victim-specific relief. And if the agency makes that determination, the statutory text unambiguously authorizes it to proceed in a judicial forum.

Law changed since EEOC v. Waffle House, Inc., 534 U.S. 279 (Jan. 15, 2002), reversed this Fourth Circuit ruling and held that an employee’s arbitration agreement does not bar the EEOC from seeking victim-specific judicial relief.

Section 2000e-5(f)(1), as incorporated by the ADA, permits the EEOC to seek broad injunctive relief in court despite a charging party's arbitration agreement, but bars it from seeking that party's individual remedies in court.

EEOC v. Waffle House · filed 2002-01-31(f)(1)

Recognizing that the EEOC is vested with enforcement authority both to seek broad-based injunctive relief in the public interest and to seek "make-whole" relief on behalf of a charging party, we conclude (1) that the EEOC cannot be compelled, by reason of an arbitration agreement between the charging party and his employer, to arbitrate its claims, but (2) that, to the extent that the EEOC seeks to obtain "make-whole" relief on behalf of a charging party who is subject to an arbitration agreement, it is precluded from seeking such relief in a judicial forum.

Section 2000e-5 gives an employee a right to file an EEOC discrimination complaint that is separate from a contractual agreement to arbitrate.

Hughes v. CACI, Inc.-Commercial · filed 2005-07-22

The plaintiffs statutory right to file a discrimination complaint with the EEOC, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5, is separate from his contractual agreement to arbitrate.

When the EEOC sues on an employee’s behalf, the employee no longer has an independent cause of action subject to an arbitration agreement.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Physician Services, P.S.C. · filed 2006-04-06(f)(1)

Each of the intervening plaintiffs lacks the right to bring an independent cause of action that would be subject to the arbitration agreement; therefore, the Court finds that they should not be compelled to arbitrate their claims.

Equitable remedies

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) permits a district court deciding equitable relief to determine whether the employer would have taken the same action absent retaliation, provided its finding is consistent with the jury verdict.

Porter, Melvin v. Natsios, Andrew S. · filed 2005-07-01(g)(1)

Therefore, we hold that the district court did not err as a matter of law in determining, as part of its assessment of the appropriate equitable relief under § 2000e-5(g)(1), whether USAID would have taken the same action with respect to the POD and EM positions in the absence of retaliation.

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) permits a court to remove discrimination-related documents from a successful plaintiff’s personnel file as equitable relief when the plaintiff identifies the documents.

Herawi v. State of Alabama Dept. of Forensic Sciences · filed 2004-08-12(g)(1)

The court’s discretion to expunge the personnel file of a successful plaintiff is not limitless, however. First, the plaintiff must specify the documents to be expunged. ... Second, and more crucially, in order to be subject to expungement, the documents or records must be related to the illegal discrimination.

Section 2000e-5(g) provides equitable relief under Title VII, including reinstatement and back pay.

Bacon v. Honda of America Mfg., Inc. · filed 2001-03-07(g)

The plaintiff in a disparate impact case may seek only equitable relief such as injunc-tive and declaratory relief, reinstatement to a position and back pay, and a jury trial is not mandated. 42 U.S.C. § 1981a(a)(l) (compensatory and punitive damages not available in disparate impact case); 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g) (providing for equitable relief under Title VII).

Harper v. Metropolitan District Commission · filed 2001-03-16(g)

The relief available to persons aggrieved by violations of Title VII for conduct occurring prior to 1991 includes “such affirmative action as may be appropriate, which may include, but is not limited to, reinstatement..., back pay, ..., or any other equitable relief as the court deems appropriate.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g).

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) provides equitable relief for a Title VII disparate impact claim when compensatory and punitive damages are unavailable.

Pollard v. Wawa Food Market · filed 2005-04-19(g)(1)

As explained above, plaintiff has not alleged intentional discrimination, but rather advances a disparate impact theory of discrimination under Title VII. Compensatory and punitive damages are not available for such claims. 42 U.S.C. § 1981a(b). Therefore, plaintiff may only seek equitable remedies under Title VII. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g)(l). I will grant Wawa’s motion to dismiss plaintiffs request for compensatory and punitive damages with respect to plaintiffs Title VII claim.

Laber v. Harvey · filed 2006-02-16(g)(1)

By authorizing the district court to award equitable remedies only if it makes certain findings, Title VII contemplates that the civil action authorized therein requires the agency’s underlying discrimination to be an issue in the case.

DesRoches v. USPS · filed 2006-06-12(g)(1)

The statute’s use of the phrase “if the court finds” suggests that a court must consider the merits of a claimant’s discrimination claim rather than narrower issues such as whether an agency has complied with an EEOC order awarding a complainant particular relief.

Section 2000e-5(g)(1) permits courts to order appropriate equitable relief for intentional employment discrimination, including a promotion near the employee’s home.

Brown v. Alabama Department of Transportation · filed 2010-02-23(g)(1)

In light of the promotions that the jury properly could have found were denied Brown on account of her race, the district court was authorized to remedy the violations by ordering such “equitable relief as [it] deem[ed] appropriate.” 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e-5(g)(1). On the facts presented here, the district court acted well within its considerable discretion in specifying that Brown be promoted to a position in the Third Division, near her home.

United States v. City of New York · filed 2010-05-13(g)(1)

These compliance remedies are structured to allow women to fairly compete for a position at DOT. Considering DOT’s history of intentional discrimination, even such forms of relief may in some sense be termed as “affirmative,” the Government is entitled to these remedies by virtue of proving a case of intentional, long-term discrimination. ...

This discretion includes reinstatement, backpay, “or any other equitable relief as the court deems appropriate.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(g)(1). The Court finds that Plaintiffs’ request for a monitor to evaluate whether the current version of the LAST excises the portions of previous version that violate Title VII is necessary to provide Plaintiffs with “complete relief.”

Title VII, the ADA, and the ADEA all require that administrative charges of discrimination be filed within three hundred (300) days after the alleged discriminatory act. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(l) (Title VII); 42 U.S.C. § 12117(a)(ADA); 29 U.S.C. § 626(d)(2) (ADEA). ...
