"All someone has to do is yell discrimination, and they win a case" could not be farther from the truth. Successfully pursuing a case takes much more than alleging discrimination to win a case under Title VII. It is necessary to present credible evidence of discrimination in order to succeed. This is one of the reasons that employers who comply with the law should not overly fear Title VII claims. Either there is a viable basis for discrimination or there is not. If there is not, the employee's alleging discrimination does not make it true and liability does not attach to the employer. Of course, an employer still must use resources to counter the claim, which is another reason why a "best practices" approach is always best. It lessens the likelihood that employees will file claims because they perceive fairness by the employer on an ongoing basis. This lessens the possibility of having to use precious resources to resist such claims.
