FAQ
The Broward County Human Rights Ordinanceprotects individuals from unlawful discrimination in employment (employer with 5 - 14 employees), housing and public accommodations.
Language discrimination occurs when a person is treated differently because of her native language or other characteristics of her language skills. For example, an employee may be experiencing language discrimination if the workplace has a “speak-English-only” policy but her primary language is one other than English.
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.
The Broward County Human Rights Act gives Human Rights Section jurisdiction over three areas of unlawful discrimination: Employment (for employers who employ 5-14 employees) Housing (involving the sale or rental of housing with 4 or more units located in Broward County)
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.
