Filing a State-level Complaint

Employment discrimination on account of race, sex, religion, national origin, age (40 and over), disability, genetic information, and pregnant workers is illegal on both the federal level and the state level in all 50 states.

If you believe you’ve been a victim of workplace discrimination, and would like to investigate taking action via your state’s process, you’ll find more information on what that entails below. If you’d like to compare you state’s statute of limitations, average processing time, or other details against the federal process, please visit www.eeoc.gov.

For advice on which option may work best for you, be sure to consult with a licensed attorney.
