Racial Discrimination and Retaliation A university violated federal law when it treated black employees differently because of their race, and then fired them for complaining about the discrimination, claims the EEOC.
The Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity (GCEO), through its Employment Division, enforces the Fair Employment Practices Act, which makes it unlawful for a state agency to discriminate against any employee on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, disability, national origin or age.
The following would be considered illegal discrimination if there is evidence that the decision was made based on a protected characteristic: Sexual Harassment. Refusal to Provide Services. Unfair Lending Practices. Misrepresenting the Availability of Housing. Refusal to Allow “Reasonable Modifications” Refusing Rental.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
Q: What Are the Chances of Winning an EEOC Case? A: The EEOC has a very high success rate when it comes to court decisions, reaching favorable outcomes in nearly 96% of all district court cases stemming from EEOC complaints.
If the complaint is jurisdictional, an Intake Coordinator will contact you regarding filing an Official Equal Employment Complaint with the Agency. For further information, please contact the Intake Coordinator at (404) 656-5392 or (404) 656-1736.
