EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION (EEOC)
Standing Up for Employee Rights in Los Angeles
Both state and federal laws protect employees from violations of their rights in the workplace. Under these laws, employees are protected from harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and other discriminatory actions. For federal, state, municipal, or agency employees in California, claims of employment law violations can be heard before the California Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) which provides a venue for the redress of grievances. However, seeking damages for your claims is a complex path that requires the knowledge and experience of an attorney well-versed in this field of law. At Berberian Ain, LLP, our EEOC attorneys are fully adept at handling EEOC claims.

Making an EEOC Claim Against an Employer
Under the law, government employees who have suffered employment law violations must first exhaust all available administrative remedies before they can request a hearing before the EEOC. These administrative processes seeking compensations for damages are far from simple which is why you will need the services of an attorney skilled in this area.
Workplace violations may include discrimination against applicants or employees based on:
- Race
- Religion
- Color
- Sex
- National origin
- Age (over 40)
- Disability
You will need to prove your claim of sexual harassment, discrimination, or other violations to the Commission or in court. Proper procedures and rules of evidence must be followed accurately to accomplish this and to increase your chances of securing damages. You will need to rely on a trusted and knowledgeable employment law firm that knows how to take you through all of the steps of the legal process. This will begin with presenting evidence and other required documentation through to negotiations, mediations, or to an EEOC hearing or to trial.
