According to federal law, you are protected against discrimination that is based on age, sex, race, national origin, or handicap. These rights extend to your employment situation and are monitored by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. While you cannot be denied employment based on these factors, it is also illegal for your employer to retaliate against you if you complain of discrimination or for participating in the Equal Employment Opportunity process. While discrimination cases can affect anyone, Federal Civil Employees' complaints are handled differently than employees who work in private industry. First, the complaints are filed with and processed by the employer. Rather than pursue costly Federal Court actions, Federal Civil Employees may have their cases heard by an Administrative Law Judge. The administrative law process is unique and complicated and your case can be unsuccessful if your attorney does not have the necessary experience. For example, when a Federal Employee is subject to a discriminatory removal or suspension over fourteen days, their Complaint will be heard by the Merit Systems Protection Board. If you file a grievance, you may not be able to also file a discrimination claim. An experienced attorney knows that filing a claim in a timely manner is one of the most important parts of a discrimination claim. We have represented many Federal Civil Employees who have decided to exercise their right to protection against discrimination based on age, sex, race, national origin, or handicap. We encourage you to call us right away to review your claim and get your case off to a strong start. Law Office of John S. Evangelisti
