FAQ

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.

For example, asking only people of a certain race about their financial histories or criminal records is evidence of discrimination.

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.

It can be difficult for those with a criminal record of any kind to find employment. Many employers believe that once a person has been convicted of a crime, that person will always be unreliable. Even employers in low-risk industries tend not to hire applicants with criminal records.

Employers may inquire about an applicant's criminal conviction record and, in some cases, arrest record. However, an employer should consider the relationship between an arrest or conviction and the applicant's fitness for a particular job.

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.

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.

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.

Employers must look at each case individually. Courts have held that the use of arrest records to disqualify job applicants constitutes unlawful discrimination.In late 2014, Governor Rick Snyder did sign into law certain protections for Michigan employers who hire applicants previously convicted on felony charges. If you were discriminated against at work, you can file a complaint with the MDCR. Michigan law protects applicants with misdemeanor arrests, but allows employers to ask about misdemeanor or felony convictions and felony arrests. If you are denied a job because of your record, ask the employer for a copy. How long will my convictions show up on my criminal record? Under Michigan law, employers may not ask an applicant about a misdemeanor arrest that did not result in a conviction. Employers are prohibited from asking about a candidate's criminal history until after an initial interview or conditional offer of employment. The most probable answer is yes.
