FAQ
The statute of limitations for filing a discrimination lawsuit in Florida depends on the type of discrimination you experienced. Any charges that violated federal employment laws (claims filed with the EEOC), including Title VII, must be filed within 180 days from the last discriminatory action in the workplace.
You may use any (or all) of the following types of evidence): Direct Evidence: Direct evidence is the most straightforward form of evidence. It is a type of evidence that involves open evidence of discrimination on the basis of a protected characteristic, such as race, gender, age, or sexual orientation.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
Direct evidence often involves a statement from a decision-maker that expresses a discriminatory motive. Direct evidence can also include express or admitted classifications, in which a recipient explicitly distributes benefits or burdens based on race, color, or national origin.
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.
A written complaint to OSPI must include the following information: A description the conduct or incident—use facts (what, who and when) An explanation of why you believe unlawful discrimination has taken place. Your name and contact information, including a mailing address.
When you make a discrimination claim, you need to provide the court with evidence from which it could decide that the discrimination took place. The obligation on you to provide this evidence is called the burden of proof.
Florida Anti-Discrimination Laws In addition to federal anti-discrimination laws, Florida has enacted its own anti-discrimination laws to protect Florida employees.
The Florida Human Rights Act of 1977 expanded the authority of the Commission from being a community relations-based agency to also being an enforcement agency. This Act allowed the Commission to investigate and resolve complaints of employment discrimination through administrative and legal channels.
