How Do I Make an Employment Discrimination Claim?

Full Video Transcript

Every employee deserves a fair and respectful workplace. But what if you face discrimination? Discrimination in the workplace occurs when an employee is treated unfairly based on characteristics like their race, gender, age, religion, or disability. If you experience discrimination, start by documenting every incident. Record dates, times, locations, and any witnesses or evidence. Report the issue to your supervisor or HR department. They are responsible for addressing and resolving workplace concerns. If the issue isn’t resolved internally, you may need to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or file a lawsuit. An employment lawyer can answer your questions.
