With the amendments to the Missouri Human Rights Act, effective August 2017, the contributing factor standard is no more.
Claimants now must meet a MOTIVATING FACTOR standard. “Motivating factor” means “the employee’s protected classification actually played a role in the adverse action or decision and had determinative influence on the adverse decision or action.” See section 213.010(19), RSMo.
