Shultz v. Congregation Shearith Israel
Aug 10, 2017OUTCOME: Appeal Won
On Thursday, August 10, 2017, a three-judge appellate panel of the Second Circuit vacated the lower court’s dismissal of a pregnancy discrimination complaint filed by Wigdor LLP on behalf of Alana Shul ... tz against America’s first Jewish congregation, Shearith Israel. The lower court held that no adverse employment action took place on the grounds that Ms. Shultz’s employment had not been terminated because it was rescinded prior to her final day of work. The appeals panel, however, held that her Title VII cause of action accrued when she received her termination notice even if it was rescinded before taking effect.
