Discrimination Navigator gives you a roadmap.
Not knowing where to begin is often the hardest part. Workplace discrimination can involve unfamiliar laws, strict deadlines, complicated forms, and decisions that are difficult to make alone. Wherever you are in your EEOC journey, there is a next step and you don't have to navigate this path without a guide.
The deadline calculator
Get your deadline in 60 seconds.
Most people are unfamiliar with the short timelines associated with discrimination claims. The EEOC does not give you forever and puts the burden on the employee to initiate any claims. Depending on the state you worked in, you have either 180 or 300 days from the discriminatory act to file a charge. When that window closes, the doors to the federal courthouse closes with it.
Three questions is all it takes. 60 seconds. Based on your input, the deadline calculator indicates your filing window. The result is free and you can recalculate it as many times as you need.
The calculator results are based on the dates you enter. It is a self-help calculation, not a legal determination, and it cannot account for every real-world exception. If it indicates your window has closed, a lawyer may still see options an automated clock cannot.

Meet the founder
N. Lucy Chukwurah
Labor & Employment Lawyer, NLC Law GroupFounder of Discrimination Navigator
I have spent more than twenty years watching employees struggle within the employment discrimination system. In that time I have watched good claims die for reasons that had nothing to do with what happened at work. A deadline nobody explained. A form filled out wrong. A story told in the wrong order. Important facts not presented.
Most people never get in front of a lawyer at all. They may be exhausted by what they are going through, tapped out financially or see the EEOC process as insurmountable. That is who I built Discrimination Navigator for. Everyone deserves access, with or without a lawyer. For those I could not help, I built the resource I wish they had.
I often say that employment discrimination is the only area of law where one has to get permission to sue, but this is common knowledge that fails to convey the landmines employees must navigate to have viable legal claims after the EEOC process. What you write on that Charge of Discrimination is where a legal case lives or dies. You have to file it right.
What is in Discrimination Navigator is what I would tell you if you were sitting across from me: Know your rights. Document what happened. Navigate what comes next.
Attorney-built. Employee focused.
A sworn charge is a federal legal document. It goes to the EEOC and to your employer, and it says what you say. Every part of Discrimination Navigator was built from the employee's side of that process, by a lawyer who has spent more than twenty years on it, and it hands you the tools without taking the decisions out of your hands.
Attorney-built
Every lesson, template, and question in DN was written by a practicing employment lawyer with more than twenty years in this area of law.
Your answers, assembled
DN never picks a legal basis or drafts a story for you. It asks the questions in the right order, in plain English, and builds the document out of the answers you give it.
Your words stay your words
Every answer is stored exactly as you entered it and is never rewritten. Your charge says what you said, not what software decided you meant.
Self-help, not representation
DN is a self-help document tool, not a law firm. Using it does not create an attorney-client relationship, and it is not legal advice.
Know your rights. Document what happened. Navigate what comes next.
