FAQ

Who Has to Prove Discrimination Occurred? The burden of proof ultimately rests with the aggrieved person at all times; however, there is a three- step process utilized by the EEOC and the courts when deciding if discrimination occurred or not.

The law prohibits discrimination in hiring, firing, compensation, promotions, and other terms and conditions of employment. Under the law, employers are also prohibited from retaliating against an employee for making a complaint. The law protects employees, job applicants, and former employees.

An applicant or employee may file a written complaint with the appropriate head of the principal unit within 1 year after the complainant knew, or reasonably should have known, of the alleged violation of the State's Fair Employment Practices Policy (SPP 5-211).

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.

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.

Examples of Employment Discrimination Failure to hire. Harassment. Quid pro quo: Conditioning employment or promotion on sexual favors. Hostile Work Environment: Continuous actions and comments based on protected characteristics that create an uncomfortable and hostile workplace.

You must file a complaint with CRD even if you wish to file a case directly in court. If you wish to go to court, you can request an immediate “right to sue” notice when you file your complaint.
