Filing a Complaint Against Your Employer

If you have a case, the next step is determining where to file your complaint. Actionable discrimination such as discrimination based upon sex, discrimination based upon age, discrimination due to pregnancy, discrimination due to a pregnancy related medical condition, discrimination due to a an actual disability, discrimination due to a perceived disability, discrimination due to sexual orientation, discrimination due to race discrimination, discrimination due to a medical condition, discrimination due to nation origin can be filed in through the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), but we never recommend that. Complaints of discrimination due to age, discrimination due to disability, discrimination due to sex, discrimination due to pregnancy, discrimination due to pregnancy related medical conditions, discrimination due to race, discrimination due to disability, discrimination due to a medical condition, discrimination due to national origin should be filed with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The DFEH provides greater protection to employees. However, you can\'t just expect to file your employment discrimination complaint with the DFEH. You need an employment lawyer to ask for a right-to-sue letter and pursue your discrimination case in court.
