EEOC right-to-sue letter gives the worker the right to file a discrimination lawsuit against their employer
According to the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC) guidelines, an employee must file a discrimination complaint form with the EEOC within 180 calendar days from the day the discrimination took place.
Once your case is reviewed, the EEOC will issue you a right-to-sue letter, which usually, but not always, advises you that the facts stated in your EEOC are sufficient to make a claim against your employer for discrimination. The lawyer you retain will assist you with writing your EEOC form letter and ensure you comply with all requirements.
Once you receive your right-to-sue letter from the EEOC, you should deliver it to your employment lawyer immediately. Depending on your jurisdiction, attaching the EEOC right-to-sue letter is sometimes required to be attached to your civil lawsuit against the employer that your lawyer will file for you.
