The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees from discrimination on the basis of race, religion, sex, or national origin. In this case, police sergeant Jatonya Clayborn Muldrow alleged that her employer, the City of St. Louis, made an employee transfer decision on the basis of sex, discriminating against a protected employee by altering her schedule, responsibilities, and potential to earn overtime pay.

On April 17, 2024, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that Muldrow had to prove that the transfer had caused her harm but did not have to prove that the harm was significant.
