Discrimination Claims Investigation

Discrimination is an intentional as well as unintentional act, which affects employment opportunities because of someone’s race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, marital status, and sometimes even age (in certain jurisdictions).
Discrimination and Harassment Claims are serious, and employers are required to respond accordingly.  An employer’s failure to comply with Federal and State employment and labor laws, can result in the implementation of substantial penalties resulting from lawsuits and defamation.

Discrimination Claims Investigations Information:

• In the event of discrimination where a claim is being made these are things you need to determine:
• First determine what agency/municipality has jurisdiction over your claim.
• File a formal written complaint with that agency, outlining the sequence of events responsible for the alleged action.
• Be aware of any statute of limitations regulating your ability to file (usually 180 days from the last instance of discrimination).
• To no ones surprise, being fired or demoted is often a result of your discrimination claim and just adds credence to the situation.
