Common Questions About Workplace Discrimination
General information only — not legal advice.
What types of discrimination are illegal?
Federal law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and sexual orientation), national origin, age (40+), disability, and genetic information. Many states add protections for marital status, political affiliation, and other characteristics.
Do I need to file with the EEOC before suing?
For most federal claims, yes. You must file a charge of discrimination within 180 or 300 days depending on your state. The EEOC will investigate and either resolve the matter or issue a "right to sue" letter allowing you to proceed in court.
What if discrimination was subtle or indirect?
Discrimination doesn't have to be overt. Circumstantial evidence like disparate treatment compared to similarly-situated colleagues, suspicious timing, shifting explanations, or statistical patterns can support a claim.
