Minnesota_Statute_Chapter_363.03

Minnesota Statute Chapter 363.03 I prefer to write about an experience with my current employer. I will explain what the legal issue was, summarize the claim, and offer details of how human resources professionals may play a role in preparing for and dealing with these types of situations. What was the Legal Issue' The legal issue is discrimination prohibited by Minnesota Statute Chapter 363.03. The Human Rights Act, Minnesota's comprehensive civil rights law, declares that certain types of differential treatment are unfair discriminatory practices. Any person claiming to have been aggrieved by an unfair discriminatory practice may file a charge with the Department of Human Rights. A discrimination claim under the Human Rights Act proceeds as follows: (1) first, the plaintiff must establish a prima facie case of discrimination; (2) second, the burden then shifts to the employer to articulate a nondiscriminatory reason for its action; (3) finally, the plaintiff must then prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the reason is merely a pretext for discrimination.
