Protect Classes by the EEOC

Additionally, the EEOC investigates claims of discrimination based on protected characteristics. These include discrimination based on race, national origin, color, sex, disability, pregnancy, religion, age, and genetic information. On top of that, if an employer retaliates against an employee for complaining about discriminatory treatment, the employee may file a Charge of Discrimination. Contact our firm or visit the EEOC’s website to learn more. 

The Process for Filing a Discrimination Claim

If you are suffering discrimination at work, you can file a complaint on your own or with the assistance of an employment attorney. A qualified lawyer can guide you through the process and advise you of your rights and legal options. Our New York labor employment law attorneys fight to protect employees from discrimination and provide effective legal representation at every stage of the process.

The steps in the complaint process include: 

  • Mediation: Prior to conducting an investigation, the EEOC will attempt mediation between the employee and employer. The law requires that both parties agree to the mediation. If one party declines to participate or the issue cannot be resolved, the complaint will be assigned to an investigator.
  • Investigation: Investigations can take between six months and one year to complete. The investigator will interview the employee, employer, and any witnesses.
  • Litigation: If the investigation shows that an employer violated the law or the agency is unable to make a determination, the employee will be issued a Notice of the Right to Sue.
