Michigan Employment Discrimination

It is unlawful to discriminate on the basis of age, race, sex, disability, religion, national origin, whistleblowing, or against other protected classes in the workplace. In Michigan, employment discrimination occurs when an adverse employment action is linked to a protected class. Adverse employment actions include:

  • Wrongful termination
  • Demotion
  • Transfer
  • Lack of promotion
  • Failing to hire

Filing a Discrimination Claim

Generally, discrimination claims must be submitted to the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) within 300 days of the discriminatory act. However, this deadline often lapses because several wrongful acts may accumulate before the employee decides to take action. Our discrimination lawyers can help you submit a claim to the EEOC and Michigan Department of Civil Rights and assist you with the process, including going to court when necessary.

Helping Working People

We are prepared to challenge an employer's position that there was a justifiable reason for the adverse action. After the EEOC process concludes, we can file a complaint in state and federal court for our clients. Our lawyers independently investigate the matter and pursue compensation for all damages you have suffered as a result of the discrimination or wrongful termination, such as back pay, future lost pay, harm to reputation, damages for humiliation, and other compensation.

Our employment discrimination lawyers are experienced pursuing sexual discrimination and other discrimination claims in the state and federal courts in Michigan. For a free case evaluation with an experienced employment discrimination attorney, contact Miller Cohen PLC  today.
