The EEOC Filing Process

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws that prohibit workplace discrimination. Here is what to expect when you file a complaint with help from a EEOC lawyer:

1. Your attorney evaluates whether your claim falls under Title VII, ADA, ADEA, or other federal protections
2. A formal Charge of Discrimination is drafted and filed with the EEOC within the 180 or 300 day deadline
3. The EEOC notifies your employer and may investigate with interviews and document requests
4. Mediation may be offered as a voluntary resolution process
5. If conciliation fails, the EEOC may issue a Right to Sue letter allowing you to file in federal court
6. Your attorney pursues damages including back pay, compensatory damages, and injunctive relief

Missing the EEOC filing deadline can permanently bar your claim. A YesLawyer EEOC complaint lawyer ensures your paperwork is filed correctly and on time so you do not lose your right to pursue justice.
