A New York Discrimination Complaint is a legal document used to file a complaint of discrimination in the state of New York. Discrimination is defined as any action taken against a person or group of people based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, military status, or any other protected class. The complaint is filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights, and it includes information about the alleged discrimination, the identity of the respondent, and the requested remedy. There are two main types of New York Discrimination Complaint: a charge of discrimination filed with the state Division of Human Rights, and a complaint for a private cause of action in court. The charge of discrimination is used to report unlawful discrimination to the state, while the private cause of action is used to pursue damages in court.
