Workplace discrimination involves unfair treatment based on protected characteristics like race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin.
It can manifest as unequal pay, harassment, biased promotion practices, wrongful termination, or other adverse employment actions.
Filing usually begins with a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency.
An attorney can help guide you through this process, ensuring deadlines are met and your rights are protected.
It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for filing discrimination claims or participating in investigations.
If you experience retaliation, additional legal protections and claims may apply.
Time limits vary but often range from 180 to 300 days after the discriminatory act occurs to file with the EEOC or state agencies.
Prompt action is critical to preserve your rights, so consulting an attorney early is advisable.
Depending on your case, you may recover lost wages, emotional distress damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees.
