EEO Policy

California

Asked on Aug 21, 2025

What is the process for filing an EEOC complaint?

I recently experienced workplace discrimination based on my race, and I believe I have a strong case to file an EEOC complaint against my employer. I faced derogatory comments, unequal treatment, and was denied a promotion despite being qualified. I want to know what steps I need to take to file a complaint and seek justice for the discrimination I have endured.

Randy M.

Answered Sep 5, 2025

You’ve been through a lot, and based on what you’ve described (racial slurs, unfair treatment, and getting passed over for a promotion) you may have a strong case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Filing with the EEOC isn’t overly complicated. While deadlines and documentation matter, the process is designed so that people can handle it without a lawyer. That said, having some guidance definitely helps. Don’t Wait Too Long to File Let’s start with timing. You’ve got 180 calendar days from the most recent discriminatory act to file your charge. That window extends to 300 days if your state has a fair employment practices agency that works alongside the EEOC. Most states do. What’s important is that the clock starts when the discrimination happens, not when you decide to take action. If the promotion denial just happened and the derogatory comments are still ongoing, you’re probably still within the window. Just don’t wait too long. Start Documenting Right Now Before you file anything, get your records in order. Write down every incident — where it happened, what was said, and who was present. Be specific. Save any emails, performance reviews, job applications, or anything else that supports your claims. If coworkers of other races were treated more favorably under similar circumstances, document that, too. It can really strengthen your case. And if you reported the discrimination internally, keep copies of what you sent and any responses you received. How to File with the EEOC You have a few options for starting the process. The easiest is using the online portal at publicportal.eeoc.gov. You can also visit a local EEOC office, call 1-800-669-4000, or send a written statement by mail. After that initial contact, someone from the EEOC will follow up to ask questions and confirm that your case falls under their authority. The Charge Is the Heart of Your Case Once you’ve made contact, the EEOC will help you draft a formal charge of discrimination. This is the key document in your case, so make sure it’s accurate and thorough. It needs to describe what happened, when it happened, and why you believe it was based on race. It must also include your employer’s name and address. After it’s submitted, the EEOC will notify your employer within 10 days. What to Expect After You File Sometimes the EEOC offers mediation early in the process. It’s voluntary and involves a neutral third party who works with both sides to try and resolve the dispute quickly. If mediation isn’t offered or doesn’t succeed, the EEOC will open a formal investigation. They’ll review documents, interview witnesses, and may even visit your workplace. These investigations can take several months or longer depending on the case and the EEOC’s workload. What Comes Next After the investigation, the EEOC will issue one of two findings. If they believe there’s enough evidence to support your claim, they’ll issue a “reasonable cause” finding and try to negotiate a resolution with your employer through a process called conciliation. In a small number of cases, the EEOC may file a lawsuit on your behalf. If they don’t find enough evidence, they’ll close the case and give you a Notice of Right to Sue. This gives you 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court. You can also request this notice early if you want to skip the investigation and head straight to court, but you should talk to a lawyer before doing that. Watch for Retaliation It’s illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for filing a charge or participating in an investigation. If your working conditions suddenly change (worse assignments, negative reviews, or changes in how you’re treated) document everything. Retaliation can be a separate legal issue, and the EEOC treats it seriously. Do You Need a Lawyer? You don’t need an attorney to file with the EEOC, but having one can make a big difference. A lawyer can help present your case more clearly, negotiate a better settlement, and represent you in court if needed. Many work on contingency, which means they only get paid if you recover money. Even if you file on your own, it’s smart to speak with an attorney before accepting a settlement or filing a lawsuit. Employer Size Matters One last thing to consider. Title VII only applies if your employer has 15 or more employees. If your workplace is smaller, you may still have protections under state or local laws. Those laws sometimes give you broader rights or more time to file, so don’t assume you’re out of options just because your company is small.

Noncompete Agreement

Florida

Asked on Jun 29, 2023

Noncompete agreement geographic scope?

I recently left my job of five years and have been offered a new position with a competitor. The new employer has asked me to sign a noncompete agreement. I am concerned about the geographic scope of the agreement and need to understand what areas it would cover, and if it would prevent me from taking a position with a competitor in another state or country.

Daniel D.

Answered Jul 25, 2023

The Courts use a reasonableness standard determine if a non-compete is reasonable in time and geographic scope. It would be necessary to see the non-compete to tell you what it says, the areas it would cover and if it would prevent you from taking another position.

Employment Termination Letter

Washington

Asked on Jan 6, 2025

Can an employer fire an employee without providing a reason?

I recently found myself in a situation where I was terminated from my job without any explanation or reason provided by my employer. I had been with the company for several years and had always received positive feedback on my performance, so I was completely blindsided by the sudden termination. I have been trying to understand if it is legal for an employer to fire an employee without giving any reason, as it feels unjust and unfair.

Merry K.

Answered Jan 17, 2025

I am so very sorry to hear about your termination. Unfortunately, "at will" employers can discipline or even terminate employees for zero reason and with zero advance notice. They can increase or decrease wages, work locations, job duties, etc, without consulting you. They are not required to provide notice of problems or training, for that matter. Employers can be total jerks. . There are exceptions: . • The employer cannot violate a law, or ask you to violate a law. For example, if you are were fired because of your race and/or sex and/or sexual orientation, and not just because of your competency level, you have the right to file discrimination complaints with the state (Washington State Human Rights Commission) and federal anti-discrimination agencies. Or, if you have filed a wage and hour complaint or worker’s compensation claim, you can’t be retaliated against. • Some courts have also held that employers can't violate their own policies/terms in employment handbooks. • Employees of most governmental agencies are entitled to a hearing to contest disciplinary measures or termination. Now, I've only written about "at will" employment so far. If you had an employment contract, the employer must follow the contract terms prior to firing you. I hope that this information is helpful to you. I have worked in the field of general employment law, and also employment discrimination, for more years than I can count - even before law school.

Employee Contract

California

Asked on Oct 6, 2024

Can an employer change an employee's hourly wage without prior notice or agreement?

I work as a sales representative for a company and recently noticed a decrease in my hourly wage on my paycheck. There was no communication or agreement regarding this change, and I am concerned about the legality of the situation. I have been with the company for over two years and have always been paid a certain hourly rate, which was agreed upon when I was hired. I want to know if my employer has the right to unilaterally change my hourly wage without any prior notice or agreement, and what steps I can take to address this issue.

Dolan W.

Answered Oct 18, 2024

Hello! I'm so sorry this happened. So the short answer is no. Legally, they have to let you know that there was going to be a change in the terms of your agreement. You have a few options: 1. You can send a template demand letter, stating this is a breach of your agreement - https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/256 2. You can contact the state department of labor and file a wage claim. Best of luck! Dolan
