What is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act?

All employees are protected against discrimination due to the color of their skin under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The following are examples of the discrimination that employees are protected against:

• Retaliation
• Harassment
• Segregation and classification of employees
• Pre-employment inquiries and requirements
• Protection during the recruiting, hiring, and advancement processes
• Compensation, employment terms, conditions, and privileges

How long do I have to file a claim if I believe that I am a victim of color discrimination?

You must take action as soon as possible if you believe that you are a victim of discrimination in the workplace. In Georgia, you are legally obligated to report an incident of discrimination within 180 days of the date of the incident. If you are a federal employee, you must speak with an Equal Employment Opportunity counselor within 45 days of the incident of discrimination.

If you fail to report these instances of discrimination within the correct time period, you may risk losing your opportunity to recover compensation due to being permanently time-barred from taking legal action.

It is best to file your claim as soon as possible. To begin this process today, do not hesitate to contact our Atlanta employment rights attorney.
