Working in a fair, supportive environment is all a lot of us want out of life.
00:05
Unfortunately, the workplace can sometimes be a place of inequity.
00:09
If you're an independent litigant trying to initiate a workplace discrimination case,
00:14
you can never be too prepared.
00:16
And knowing the ins and outs of workplace discrimination laws
00:19
is the first step to getting the fairness you deserve.
00:22
It is illegal for an employer anywhere in the country
00:25
to discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion,
00:30
nationality, age, disability, or marital status.
00:34
In Florida, you can add people with AIDS or HIV and sickle cell anemia to the list.
00:39
But before a work discrimination claim can be brought to court,
00:43
it must first be brought up with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission,
00:47
or EEOC, which is federal,
00:50
or with the Florida Commission of Human Resources, or FCHR, which is state,
00:56
or with both at the same time.
00:58
You have a 365-day time deadline to file with the FCHR
01:02
and 300 days to file with the EEOC from the date of discrimination.
01:07
If either of the agencies don't resolve the issue,
01:10
then and only then can you pursue the claim in court.
01:14
A lawsuit making a claim under federal anti-discrimination laws
01:17
must be filed within 90 days of a Notice of Right to Sue from the EEOC.
01:23
A lawsuit based on the state laws must be filed within one year of the date
01:27
the FCHR has issued a probable cause determination
01:32
or four years from when the discrimination occurred.
01:35
Remember that state law claims can be filed in federal court and vice versa,
01:40
and that you can bring both federal and state claims in one case.
01:44
Generally, these federal and state laws apply to companies with at least 15 employees,
01:49
but some only apply to companies with at least 20 employees,
01:53
unless the discrimination is about paying men and women the same salary for equal work.
01:58
That law, the Equal Pay Act, applies to all companies of any size.
02:04
For other types of discrimination, however,
02:06
if you work for a company with less than 20 employees,
02:10
it is best to check the law for the type of discrimination that happened to you.
02:14
Incidentally, claims can be based on discrimination that is less obvious or blatant,
02:19
such as inappropriate interview questions
02:21
or position reassignment because of pregnancy, for example.
02:25
Whatever the discrimination may be,
02:27
LegalYou is here to help you steer your case in the right direction.
