EEOC CLAIMS
If you work on Long Island or in New York City and need to file a discrimination claim with the EEOC, you must act quickly. While the deadline is generally within 180 days of the discriminatory act, the time period is extended to 300 days because New York State and New York City laws prohibit employment discrimination based on the same characteristics as the federal laws.
Once the discrimination claim is filed in the local EEOC office, the Commission will investigate the complaint and notify the employer of the allegation. If the EEOC finds there is reasonable cause to believe discrimination has occurred, the parties can arrive at an appropriate remedy through a process referred to as conciliation. If conciliation is not successful, the EEOC may sue the employer in federal court. If the EEOC does not find reasonable cause, it will dismiss the case. The employee, however, can still file a lawsuit in federal court.
