Step 1 of 8
Prepare your sworn EEOC charge
Welcome to the Charge of Discrimination Wizard
This wizard will guide you through preparing your EEOC Charge of Discrimination. Plan for 30 to 45 minutes to complete it. You can save your progress and return at any time using the link in your welcome email.
What you'll need:
- Your employer's legal name and address (as written on your paystubs or W2)
- Dates of the discriminatory acts
- Names of witnesses (if any)
- Names of comparators, people treated differently than you
- A clear understanding of what happened, in your own words
Before you begin, please read carefully:
By checking the box below, I acknowledge that:
- Discrimination Navigator is an educational platform and self-help tool. It is not a law firm and is not my attorney.
- Using the Charge of Discrimination Wizard does not create an attorney-client relationship between me and Discrimination Navigator.
- The information provided to me through this tool is not legal advice, and I will not rely on it as legal advice. I have been advised that I may consult a licensed employment attorney about my situation.
- I am responsible for the content of the Particulars section of my charge, which is my own statement of what occurred. The wizard provides structural prompts only. It does not write my narrative for me.
- I am responsible for the accuracy of all information I provide, and for filing my charge with the EEOC, and with any applicable state or local fair employment practices agency, by my applicable deadline.
