FAQ
What is the Average Settlement for a Discrimination or Retaliation Claim? Based on data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the typical settlement amount for employment discrimination claims stands around $40,000.
The burden is on you to prove through relevant and material evidence that the agency discriminated against you and are entitled to certain relief. In analyzing the evidence, the AJ will apply a "preponderance of the evidence" standard, not the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard applicable in criminal proceedings.
Two types of remedies are available in EEO complaints against federal agencies: equitable relief and compensatory damages. Equitable relief, also called “make whole” relief, is designed to restore the complainant to the employment situation s/he would have been in if the discrimination had not happened.
If you have been a victim of workplace discrimination, you may have grounds to file a lawsuit against your employer. Workers are protected by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which enforces laws that ensure fair treatment in the workplace.
An aggrieved individual (a DOL employee or applicant for employment with DOL) must contact an EEO Counselor within 45 calendar days of an alleged discriminatory action, or in the case of a personnel action, within 45 calendar days of the effective date of action.
Aggrieved persons who believe they have been discriminated against must contact an agency EEO counselor prior to filing a formal complaint. The person must initiate counselor contact within 45 days of the matter alleged to be discriminatory.
When it comes to California discrimination lawsuits, the potential payout varies greatly depending on the company's size. Take small businesses with fewer than 100 employees - they're looking at a maximum payout of $50,000. But scale up to 101-200 employees, and that number jumps to $100,000.
In cases of discrimination in the workplace, you can typically seek compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages. While there's no limit on lost wages, emotional distress and punitive damages are capped at $300,000 under laws like Title VII and the ADA.
