It Is Usually Best to File a Complaint With the DFEH But it is a good strategy to file a complaint with the EEOC too. Doing so will preserve your right to sue your employer under both state and federal anti-discrimination laws.

A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.
