FAQ
Ing to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the average settlement for employment discrimination claims is about $40,000. However, depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, settlements or verdicts can climb to seven figures.
EEOC complaints can lead to legal, financial, and reputational consequences for employers, often involving costly investigations and potential lawsuits. Employers are subject to strict timelines and compliance rules once an EEOC complaint is filed, including prohibitions on document destruction.
Although only 2% of EEOC charges result in enforcement action, these cases can lead to significant penalties and financial judgments that may jeopardize a company's financial stability.
Simply put, the burden of proof lies with the complainant, who must demonstrate evidence supporting their discrimination claim. This involves presenting facts and sometimes witness testimonies to make a compelling case that the discrimination occurred.
Q: What Are the Chances of Winning an EEOC Case? A: The EEOC has a very high success rate when it comes to court decisions, reaching favorable outcomes in nearly 96% of all district court cases stemming from EEOC complaints.
The following would be considered illegal discrimination if there is evidence that the decision was made based on a protected characteristic: Sexual Harassment. Refusal to Provide Services. Unfair Lending Practices. Misrepresenting the Availability of Housing. Refusal to Allow “Reasonable Modifications” Refusing Rental.
A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.
Typical outcomes if discrimination is found An employer may be required to hire, reinstate, or promote an applicant/employee. In addition, an applicant or employee may obtain an award of monetary damages.
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.
