A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling will make it easier for employees to bring discrimination claims against their employers for job transfers and other lateral job changes. In Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, the high court held that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discriminatory job transfers even if the transfer does not cause “significant harm” to the employee. In ruling that an employee need only show “some harm” with respect to an identifiable term or condition of employment, the court may have opened the door to a broader scope of bias lawsuits.
