Easier to File Discrimination Claims with EEOC

EEOC launched an e-file option for attorneys to submit discrimination claims on behalf of employees or unions. A charge of discrimination must be filed before a lawsuit can commence. A licensed attorney may file a charge on behalf of a client by either (1) uploading and submitting a charge your client has previously signed under penalty of perjury but has not yet submitted to the EEOC or (2) by creating and submitting a charge that the attorney’s client can sign under penalty of perjury through the EEOC Public Portal. #IdeaoftheDay
