Question

Dayton had been employed for an air conditioning company for three years. The company employed 14 employees and Dayton felt that her supervisor was starting to sexually harass her. She had complained to her HR department and patiently waited for the HR department to resolve the problem. She ultimately quit and 185 days after she quit, she filed a charge of discrimination with her state agency and the EEOC after thinking how she had been discriminated against by her supervisor. Will Dayton prevail on her charge of discrimination? Why or why not?

Answer 1

The equal employment opportunity commission of United States is is the organisation which enforce federal laws for making discrimination illegal. This discrimination can be against an employee or even an applicant for the job.

It can be the discrimination of persons race , colour , religion , sex , National origin , age , disability or genetic information.

EEOC covers most of the employers with at least fifteen employees.

In this case, Dayton cannot prevail on her charge of discrimination because the organisation is having 14 employees.

Another reason for her case not to be prevailed is EEOC has its own strict time limit for filing a job discrimination complaint.

In some cases it is 180 days and if the complaint is also covered by a state or local anti-discrimination law the time limit is 300 days.

So in this case the time limit has been crossed because she e has complained after 185 days.
