How We Evaluate an EEOC Charge
An EEOC charge of discrimination is a signed statement alleging that an employer, union, or labor organization engaged in unlawful discrimination and asking the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to act. Before a charge is filed, we examine whether the facts involve a protected characteristic or activity, an adverse employment action, and evidence connecting the two. We also consider the employer type, governing law, filing deadline, and any other administrative process that may apply.
Our review may address:
- Protected characteristics: Race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information
- Protected activity: Reporting discrimination, requesting a legally protected accommodation, or participating in a workplace investigation
- Employer action: Termination, demotion, discipline, denied promotion, harassment, or another material employment decision
- Supporting evidence: Communications, personnel records, witness information, internal complaints, and records of different treatment
- Procedural options: Filing with the appropriate agency, responding during an investigation, or evaluating a Notice of Right to Sue
We tailor our strategy to each employee’s circumstances rather than applying the same approach to every charge. We represent employees in disputes involving major corporations, state and local government agencies, and education districts.
Our employment litigation experience includes significant decisions in the 6th and 7th Circuit Courts of Appeals. We have also earned an AV Preeminent® Rating from Martindale-Hubbell®, and several of our attorneys have appeared in Indiana Super Lawyers® and Rising Stars℠ editions.
