FAQ

Report discrimination to a local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). If the discrimination breaks both a state and federal law, the FEPA will also send your complaint to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's directory of field offices to find the FEPA near you.

Consider Speaking Up: If you feel safe doing so, consider addressing the behavior directly with your manager. Use ``I'' statements to express how their actions affect you. Report the Behavior: If the discrimination continues, consider reporting it to HR or a higher authority within your organization.

In Michigan, employment discrimination occurs when an employer takes adverse, illegal action against an employee simply because they are a member of a protected class. Protected classes include race, gender, religion, age, and employees who are disabled or considered disabled, among others.

The most common method of proof for discrimination cases is circumstantial evidence. Under Michigan law, the employee must not merely raise a triable issue that the employer's articulated reason was pretextual, but that it was a pretext for unlawful discrimination.

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.

To have a boss that yells or makes employees cry is not an uncommon phenomenon in the United States, and the law does not prevent it–except when the motivation is discriminatory. A hostile work environment, in the legal sense, is a workplace made hostile because of a person's gender, race, and/or disability.

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.

You may file a complaint of discrimination using the online complaint form or by calling 1-800-482-3604. Pursuant to section 238 of PA 166 of 2022, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights posts this notice that it has adopted a hybrid policy that includes in-person, remote, and alternative work arrangements.
