Know Your Rights

Understanding your legal situation is the first step to protecting your rights and getting fair compensation.

1

Types of Illegal Employment Actions

Discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, disability, or national origin is illegal. So is sexual harassment, retaliation for reporting violations, wage theft, misclassification as a contractor, and wrongful termination.

2

The EEOC Charge Process

Before filing most employment lawsuits, you must file an EEOC charge within 180–300 days of the discriminatory act. The EEOC investigates and may issue a "Right to Sue" letter, which opens the door to federal court. An attorney manages this process.

3

What Damages You Can Recover

Lost wages, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages for emotional distress, punitive damages in egregious cases, and attorney fees are all available in successful employment claims.
