How Do You Prove Discrimination At Work In Florida?

To prove you are facing discrimination at your Florida workplace, take the following steps:

1. Document incidents: Keep detailed records of each encounter in which you experience discrimination. List out specific things such as the actions taken and the dates and times they occurred, and collect statements from any witnesses that may have been present.
2. Compile evidence: Collect any emails, messages or documents that demonstrate discriminatory practices or instances of harassment.
3. Identify comparators: Demonstrate how similarly situated employees were treated differently based on protected characteristics.

Once you have taken these steps, you can submit a complaint to your company’s human resources department. If they don’t cooperate, you can file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR). An experienced employment law attorney in Miami-Dade County can help you with these processes and more.

How To File A Workplace Discrimination Claim In Miami, Florida

Depending on the agency you are filing with, here are the steps involved for each:

Filing An Employment Discrimination Complaint With The FCHR

The process typically involves submitting a detailed written complaint of the discrimination you have endured. Make sure you include details such as:

• The discriminatory actions taken
• The date and nature of each incident
• Information about the complainant and the employer

Once you submit your complaint, the FCHR will look into the allegations and attempt to settle the dispute through mediation. If you do not hear back from the agency within 180 days, you can take your case to court. You have approximately one year to file a formal complaint with the agency.

Filing An Employment Discrimination Complaint With The EEOC

To file a complaint with the EEOC, you will need to identify the type of discrimination you are facing and gather relevant information and details related to the encounters. Once you have all the information and evidence you need, you can submit it using the EEOC’s online public portal. You can also file your complaint at an in-person agency.

The EEOC field office in Miami is located at 100 SE 2nd Street, Suite 1500, Miami, FL 33131.
