Draft an EEOC discrimination charge and the employer's position
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- From the chronology and the documents the lawyer marks as usable, list the dates, the adverse actions, and the documents. Write no charge and no employer position. Do not recast the facts as a just-cause dismissal claim.
- What the lawyer must review
- The EEOC says a charge is a signed statement, and that the laws it enforces other than the Equal Pay Act require a charge before a lawsuit. In general a charge is filed within 180 days, extended to 300 days if a state or local agency enforces a law on the same basis. Federal employees generally must contact an agency EEO counselor within 45 days. You check every sentence before the charge is signed, and you confirm the deadline and the statute for the characteristic in issue. There is no national unfair-dismissal application. If the facts are retaliation, open 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-3 before the charge is framed that way. Formal Opinion 512: you remain responsible for the text.
