INJUNCTION; EQUITABLE RELIEF

(a) On finding that a respondent engaged in an unlawful employment practice as alleged in a complaint, a court may: (1) prohibit by injunction the respondent from engaging in an unlawful employment practice; and (2) order additional equitable relief as may be appropriate. (b) Additional equitable relief may include: (1) hiring or reinstating with or without back pay; (2) upgrading an employee with or without pay; (3) admitting to or restoring union membership; (4) admitting to or participating in a guidance program, apprenticeship, or on-the-job training or other training or retraining program, using objective job-related criteria in admitting an individual to a program; (5) reporting on the manner of compliance with the terms of a final order issued under this chapter; and (6) paying court costs. (c) Liability under a back pay award may not accrue for a date more than two years before the date a complaint is filed with the commission. Interim earnings, workers' compensation benefits, and unemployment compensation benefits received operate to reduce the back pay otherwise allowable.
