How Can An MD Federal Employee EEO Complaint Lawyer Help Me?
Workplace discrimination occurs when someone is subjected to an adverse employment action or harassed because they belong to (or are perceived as belonging to) a legally protected class. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), protected classes include race, color, gender, sexual preference, national origin, pregnancy, disability, and age. You’re also protected if you suffer retaliation if you speak up about your own mistreatment or the mistreatment of others.
We believe in your right to work in a fair, peaceful environment. Everyone has the right to equitable treatment under the law and deserves to be evaluated on their merits.
Federal Employees Enjoy Enhanced Employment Rights
Federal workers have a different process than other employees for filing an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) claim. We can facilitate filing the claim on your behalf and gathering evidence and testimony to support it. If we can’t get resolution through the federal agency that employs you, our next step will be to pursue a Notice of Right to File a Formal Complaint. Once that complaint is filed, the EEOC investigates.
At the conclusion of the EEOC investigation, you may request a decision based on the EEOC report or opt to seek redress before an EEOC administrative judge. If we still do not achieve a satisfactory resolution, we can file your complaint in federal court.
Protecting You From Retaliation After Filing An EEO Complaint
It’s not unusual for many employees to face retaliation after speaking up about mistreatment or suffer after filing an EEO complaint. You may be passed over for promotion or a career-enhancing lateral move. Or, you may see a reduction in your job responsibilities or be assigned “grunt work” or other duties no one else wants.
Retaliation may also take the form of suspension or termination of employment. If you’ve been suspended after filing a complaint or lost your job, talk to our lawyers about your options to fight the retaliation.
