FAQ
Filing a Claim for Employment Discrimination Before you may file a lawsuit against your employer in court, you must first file a complaint of discrimination with either the EEOC or PHRC. You must file the complaint with either agency within 180 days of the adverse employment action.
If you feel you have experienced illegal discrimination, you can file a complaint or report a bias incident to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission (PHRC). Email the PHRC or call your regional office.
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.
The Sentencing Guidelines recommend a range of minimum sentence based on the seriousness of the offense (Offense Gravity Score) and the prior criminal history (Prior Record Score) of the offender. Therefore, the more serious the offense, the more serious is the recommended punishment.
The Pennsylvania Human Relations Act (PHRA) covers discrimination in employment, housing, commercial property, education, and public accommodations. The PHRA has been amended many times since its adoption in 1955, originally as the Pennsylvania Fair Employment Practice Act.
What Are Mandatory Minimum Sentences in Pennsylvania? In Pennsylvania, a mandatory minimum sentence is the bare minimum amount of jail or prison time a convicted defendant may face for a certain offense. Mandatory minimum sentences vary based on the crime involved and the defendant's criminal record.
The first thing a judge must consider is the law. Statutes set minimum and maximum punishments for criminal offenses. Furthermore, case law and constitutional considerations will also influence a judge's decision. On appeal, a judge's sentence would be overturned if he or she failed to follow the law.
Minimum Sentence (MIN): An offender in state prison must serve the entire minimum sentence prior to becoming eligible for parole. Maximum Sentence (MAX): The court must impose a maximum sentence that is at least double the minimum sentence, but the maximum sentence cannot exceed the period of time authorized.
There are four sentencing zones: A, B, C, and D. Zone A consists of sentencing ranges of 0–6 months. Zone B consists of sentencing ranges above Zone A but with a maximum penalty of no more than 15 months. Zone C consists of sentencing ranges above Zone B but whose maximum penalty is 18 months or less.
The Sentencing Guidelines recommend a range of minimum sentence based on the seriousness of the offense (Offense Gravity Score) and the prior criminal history (Prior Record Score) of the offender. Therefore, the more serious the offense, the more serious is the recommended punishment.
