Question

Hannigan Lumber employs 155 workers. One of the firm's former employees used the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to file and win a discrimination lawsuit against Hannigan Lumber. What is the maximum amount of punitive damages that the former employee could receive

Answer 1

Answer: $100,000

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 prohibits every form discrimination in organizations that are based on religion, race, gender, color, or ethnic considerations.

Since Hannigan Lumber employs 155 workers, if one of the firm's former employees used the Civil Rights Act of 1991 to file and win a discrimination lawsuit against Hannigan Lumber, the maximum amount of punitive damages that the former employee could receive will be $100,000.

This is because according to the law, an employer that has employees of about 101-200 workers will pay demages of $100,000 if a discrimination lawsuit is won.
