Discrimination in the workplace is illegal under many federal laws. As a victim of workplace discrimination, you must file your discrimination or sexual harassment complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is the federal agency that investigates and authorizes claims for unlawful employment discrimination and sexual harassment.
When you file an EEOC claim, you should work with a dedicated discrimination and sexual harassment lawyer with EEOC representation experience. Your attorney can ensure you file your claim within the time limit allowed by law. They can guide you through the process and advise you regarding mediation, settlement, and litigation. They will help make sure your entire filing process is seamless so that you can move to the next phase of the process quickly and easily.
The EEOC or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the federal agency that monitors employment discrimination and sexual harassment claims.
The EEOC handles any claims of employment discrimination against members of a protected class. You should file a claim with the EEOC when your rights are violated within a company with 15 or more employees.
Discrimination and sexual harassment claims must make their way through the EEOC before a complaint can get filed in federal court.
The EEOC oversees the rights of employees based on specific employment laws. Any violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Americans with Disabilities Act
Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Genetic Information Nondisclosure Act, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act must first pass through the EEOC before a complaint gets filed in federal court. Equal Pay Act violations can get filed with the EEOC first.
However, it is not mandatory. The EEOC also handles claims of retaliation and wrongful termination relating to these laws.
