Workplace discrimination involves unfair treatment of an employee based on characteristics protected by law, such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or national origin.
In Clayton, Missouri, these protections are aligned with both federal and state laws, ensuring employees have avenues to challenge unjust practices in hiring, promotion, pay, and working conditions.
The first step is to document incidents thoroughly and consult with a qualified attorney who can evaluate your situation and advise on the best course of action.
Filing a claim often involves submitting a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Missouri Commission on Human Rights before pursuing legal remedies.
It is illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for asserting their rights by filing discrimination claims.
If you experience retaliation, additional legal protections and remedies may apply, and you should seek counsel promptly.
Possible remedies include back pay, reinstatement, damages for emotional distress, and attorney’s fees among others.
The specific compensation depends on the facts of your case and applicable laws.
You typically have 300 days from the discriminatory act to file with the EEOC and up to 2 years to file a lawsuit after receiving a right-to-sue notice.
Timelines can vary based on circumstances, so timely consultation is important.
