Frequently Asked Questions About Employment Discrimination
What qualifies as workplace discrimination?
Workplace discrimination includes unfair treatment, harassment, unequal pay, wrongful termination, or refusal to hire or promote based on protected characteristics like race, gender, disability, age, religion, pregnancy, or sexual orientation. If you’re unsure if your situation qualifies, consult an employment discrimination lawyer in Jupiter.
How long do I have to file a discrimination complaint in Florida?
In Florida, you typically have 365 days to file a discrimination claim with the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) and 300 days to file federally with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Contacting an attorney as soon as possible ensures you meet these crucial deadlines.
