FAQ
Many cases of intentional discrimination are not proven by a single type of evidence. Rather, many different kinds of evidence-direct and circumstantial, statistical and anecdotal-are relevant to the showing of intent and should be assessed on a cumulative basis.
Direct evidence often involves a statement from a decision-maker that expresses a discriminatory motive. Direct evidence can also include express or admitted classifications, in which a recipient explicitly distributes benefits or burdens based on race, color, or national origin.
To prove discrimination, a complainant has to prove that: they have a characteristic protected by the Human Rights Code Code; they experienced an adverse impact with respect to an area protected by the Code; and. the protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact.
Wronged employees have three ways of proving their employers intended to discriminate: circumstantial evidence, direct evidence, and pattern and practice. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that proves a fact by inference, as opposed to direct evidence which directly proves a fact.
Keep a Written Record: The first step in documenting employment discrimination is to keep a written record of every incident that occurs. Your records should include dates, times, locations, who was involved, who witnessed it, and details of what exactly happened.
Can I Sue the U.S. Department of Labor? Yes, it is possible to sue the Department of Labor. A federal district court in Texas awarded over half a million dollars in attorneys' fees and costs to an employer when the Department of Labor was not substantially justified in its legal position.
Include the following in your complaint letter: Your name, address and telephone number. The name, address, and telephone number of your attorney or authorized representative, if you are represented. The basis of your complaint. The date(s) that the incident(s) you are reporting as discrimination occurred.
