An EEOC or Florida Commission on Human Relations charge is a complaint that an employee or applicant files with a government agency. It accuses your company of discrimination or retaliation. It is not a lawsuit yet, but it starts deadlines you need to track from day one. This guide walks business owners and managers through the notice, the response, and mediation. If you need an EEOC charge attorney for employers in Florida, this page explains what that help covers. KEW Legal serves businesses from offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach.<\/p>\n

What an EEOC or FCHR Charge Is<\/h2>\n

A charge is a formal complaint that describes what happened and who did it. Two agencies handle most charges in Florida. The Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR) enforces the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992.<\/p>\n

Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 760.10<\/a>, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status.<\/p>\n

A complaint can be filed with the FCHR or the EEOC. Read the notice closely to see which agency issued it.<\/p>\n

Owners, HR staff, and managers usually answer for the company. Those are the people who need to act fast.<\/p>\n\n

Deadlines You Need to Know Right Away<\/h2>\n

The response date printed in the notice is the first date to calendar. Mark it the day the notice arrives.<\/p>\n

A missed date can weaken your position. Which date controls in your case depends on the facts, including when the alleged act happened.<\/p>\n

What to Do in the First Days After a Notice Arrives<\/h2>\n

Your first job is to protect the facts and control who speaks for the company.<\/p>\n
