Under Title VII, punitive damages are available only for intentional discrimination resulting from malice or reckless indifference when an employer has violated an employee's federally protected right. This means that the employer acted with the knowledge that their actions were illegal and intentionally chose to discriminate against the employee. Punitive damages are meant to punish the employer and deter them from engaging in similar discriminatory behavior in the future.
