Sample Charges: Disability

Description

Disability discrimination frequently turns on accommodation: a reasonable request ignored or refused, being treated as a problem for having a condition, or being pushed out after disclosing one. A precise charge captures both the request and the employer’s response.

These four (4) samples illustrate how to write your particular charge in various contexts:

• 1 Pretext + Comparator Sample
• 1 Pretext Only Sample
• 1 Comparator Only Sample
• 1 Retaliation Sample

You will see real-format example charges for disability discrimination, built on the EEOC’s own structure and written the way an experienced employment attorney would: a clear account of your condition’s relevance, the accommodation at issue, the employer’s response, and why it was unlawful.

Use it to learn the structure, tone, and detail that make a charge credible. It is an illustrative example for education and guidance, not legal advice and not a form to file as written. A Charge of Discrimination is signed under penalty of perjury, so your charge must be truthful and reflect your own experience, in your own words. Understand the model, then build your own with confidence
