FAQs
In most cases, you have 180 days from the date of the discriminatory incident to file a complaint with the EEOC. However, this deadline can vary depending on the specific circumstances and the type of alleged discrimination.
No, your employer cannot legally punish you for reporting discrimination to the EEOC. If your employer takes any adverse actions against you after filing a complaint, it could be considered retaliation, a form of discrimination.
The EEOC can sue your employer under certain conditions. The EEOC must find evidence of discrimination and attempts to resolve the issue with your employer must fail before moving forward with a lawsuit on an employee’s behalf.
It’s important to note the EEOC prioritizes cases that strengthen its overall position. You also have the right to hire an attorney independent of the commission. Note: you must have filed a discrimination complaint with the EEOC before you can proceed with a lawsuit against your employer. An exception to this are Equal Pay Act cases.
