FAQ
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.
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.
How Is a Complaint of Discrimination Filed? A complaint of employment discrimination, public accommodations discrimination, or whistle-blower retaliation may be filed online. Complaints may also be filed by mail, fax, or in person. A housing discrimination complaint may be filed by mail, fax, or in person.
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.
Title VII is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Most employees and job applicants are protected by Title VII, but independent contractors are not.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 also creates the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a five-member, bipartisan commission whose mission is to eliminate unlawful employment discrimination.
