systematic violation

systematic violation. Civil-rights law. An employer’s policy or procedure that discriminates against an employee. • Such a policy or procedure will usu. be considered a continuing violation. So an employee’s claim of unlawful discrimination will not be barred as untimely as long as some discriminatory effect of the policy or procedure occurs within the limitations period (e.g., 300 days for a Title VII claim). Cf. SERIAL VIOLATION. [Cases: Civil Rights 1505(7). C.J.S. Civil Rights §§ 159, 165.]
