My Employer Wanted me to Break the Laws of EEOC?
My supervisor hired me (HR Recruiter) to help her with knowing employment laws. She told me not to hire people of a protected class (blacks) within certain zip codes. She also asked how she could fire a pregnant woman because, "I can't have someone taking off time from work". Later a man who was qualified for the job had a previous disability but had a Dr.'s note saying he was fit for duty and the candidate had been employed for the last 2 1/2 years in the field we were hiring. His disability was before that. My supervisor said, "We don't hire people with disabilities because it is a work comp claim waiting to happen". I emailed her letting her know an EEOC claim could be filed due to her actions and the next day when she received it, she fired me.
There were witnesses in the meeting; they have agreed to testify to what she said and I had contacted EEOC about two weeks prior to my termination.
Is there a monetary result to this situation for me (retaliation) and the applicant?
Yes, there's good potential for a wrongful termination lawsuit but you will need the services of a specialist lawyer.
If you have solid witnesses that will not back out and have also developed good supportive data, memos, emails, other reliable information sufficient to have already contacted EEOC, then I'd recommend one further step which can be of even more value.
You send a nicely phrased but firm letter to the President of the Co., asking for reinstatement with full pay and the firing of the Supervisor. Suggest to the President that he/she will only make matters worse for the firm if they refuse to do so as their failure will only stand as further proof that they willingly support a lawbreaker.
Tell them that you expect compensation over and above just being reinstated but keep it reasonable.
Their failure to respond favorably within 10 days will only serve to make the lawsuit better.
