FAQ
The answer depends on your claims and willingness to pursue litigation. If your claims are strong and you are invested in the litigation process, it can be very “worth it” to feel you are standing up for accountability, getting compensation for your injuries, and incentivizing the company to change its ways.
Your chances of winning a discrimination case are much higher if you have the evidence and documentation to support your claim of discrimination. Such evidence could be direct or circumstantial.
Report discrimination to a local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). If the discrimination breaks both a state and federal law, the FEPA will also send your complaint to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's directory of field offices to find the FEPA near you.
How to Prove Discrimination in the Workplace You have been treated unjustly based on one of your protected characteristics. You are qualified, capable and honest and performed your job satisfactorily. Discrimination has negatively affected your job. Job decisions were not objective.
The way in which that can be done and proven is generally through circumstantial evidence showing that you are a member of a protected class, that you were denied a promotion, for example, and that the reason that your employer gave for why it denied you that promotion, was actually just a pretext for discrimination.
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.
To file a complaint of discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) instead of the Florida Commission on Human Relations, call 1-800-669-4000.
