HOLMES v. WEST PALM BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY

15 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. C1112 (11th Cir. October 8, 2002)

Plaintiff sought promotion to the position of Executive Director of the West Palm Beach Housing Authority in July of 1998. The plaintiff alleged that she placed near the top of the forty applicants and that she was not offered the position after the males that were ranked ahead of her declined employment offers. She subsequently complained to several members of the board that she had not been offered the position because of her gender. During this same time frame the plaintiff was involved in the initiation of a process whereby she was reimbursed for unused compensatory time. This process was contrary to the Board
