When an employee alleges any discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, he or she is required by that law to file a claim with the EEOC before suing an employer.

This means the employee’s case against the employer can proceed. Lesson for employers: Be sure your legal representation is on top of any claims against you.
