Sample Charges: Genetic Information

Description

Genetic information discrimination is one of the least understood protections, and that is exactly why it is worth naming clearly. It covers being treated differently because of your family medical history or genetic test results, or having an employer improperly ask about them. This sample shows you what a charge looks like.

You will get real-format example charges for genetic information discrimination, structured the way the EEOC expects and written the way a veteran employment lawyer would frame them: a clear account of what was disclosed or requested, how it was used against you, and why that is unlawful.

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

Read them to learn the structure and detail that make a charge effective. It is an illustrative, educational example, not legal advice and not a form to file as written. Since a Charge of Discrimination is sworn under penalty of perjury, your charge must reflect your own truthful experience, in your own words. See the model, then build yours.
