Can you file a charge with EEOC while still employed? What happens when you do?
Things can get complicated in the workplace when you’ve filed a charge with EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) while still employed. It can also be a strategic move, as you will learn in this episode.
Reporting issues to HR or filing a charge with the EEOC creates a shield that protects employees from retaliation. This anti-retaliation protection is something employees should be aware of when considering filing a charge.
This episode addresses several concerns of employees considering filing a charge with the EEOC. Paralegal Emily Villatoro from the Spiggle Law Firm joins Tom, as they address these concerns head-on.
In addition to pointing out the red flags of retaliation, Tom and Emily discuss severance packages, PTO, and attorney representation at HR meetings.
