Filing a Charge of Job Discrimination

Any person who believes that his or her job rights have been violated has the right to file a charge of discrimination with the EEOC. Also, another person, group, or agency may file a charge on behalf of someone else.

A charge may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. The local telephone book may have a telephone number for the closest EEOC office, listed under US Government. Calling 1-800-669-4000 also will connect you to the nearest EEOC office. In addition, telephone numbers and information on filing a charge can be found at EEOC's Internet Web site at www.eeoc.gov .


Time Limits for Filing a Charge

A charge must be filed with EEOC within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation in order to protect the charging party's rights. This 180-day deadline may be increased up to 300 days if the charge also is covered by certain state or local anti-discrimination laws. Under all laws enforced by EEOC, except the EPA, a charge must be filed with EEOC before going to court.
