Missouri Civil Complaint — Employment Discrimination is a legal action that can be taken by a person who believes they have been discriminated against in the workplace based on factors such as race, color, age, sex, national origin, disability, or religion. These complaints are filed with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and may be accompanied by a request for an administrative hearing. There are three types of Missouri Civil Complaint — Employment Discrimination claims: disparate treatment, disparate impact, and retaliation. Disparate treatment is when an individual is treated differently from other employees or applicants based on a protected class, such as race or gender. Disparate impact occurs when a company’s policy or practice has a disproportionate effect on certain protected classes. Retaliation claims are when an individual is subjected to negative actions in the workplace in response to making a complaint regarding discrimination.
