Project Description
EEOC Chesterbrook
While the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission structures the push for employment equality throughout the United States, the EEOC also delegates offices throughout specific regions, districts, and areas for leading educational programs and complaint investigations.
The EEOC Chesterbrook area belongs under the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia EEOC district office, which supervises the offices in Pennsylvania and other states as well.
Consult a lawyer if you have experienced employment discrimination because a lawyer knows how to fight for your rights under the law.
Filing An EEOC Chesterbrook Complaint
To file a complaint in person, the nearest office to Chesterbrook is the EEOC Philadelphia district office. First of all, call the office and ask if they have the availability for you to file a complaint on the day you were planning. Due to the interview portion of the complaint, sometimes the office is unable to meet with everyone.
Walk-ins are welcome to the EEOC Philadelphia office, according to the website, from Monday to Thursday, at 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
Contact a lawyer to evaluate whether the EEOC is your best legal option before filing a complaint. Moreover, a lawyer eases the complaint process and can even file on your behalf, which allows you manage your ongoing life.
When Do I File A Complaint?
When you’ve experienced employment discrimination, investigating the options available to you through the internet and through a free consultation with an employment lawyer will help to guide what legal action you take. Furthermore, speaking with an employment lawyer broadens your grasp on what your situation truly is under the law. A lawyer, of course, can handle your case, from the complaint to the settlement. After all, the federal government standardized certain time limits to regulate how late a complaint can be filed, and a lawyer will ensure your case meets every date.

Four Steps For Filing A Complaint
Filing a complaint is simple because the process comes with a set of steps. While you can file an EEOC complaint without a lawyer, consulting a lawyer for what types of evidence and proof to include could positively influence your case. Finally, we offer an overview of what filing a complaint looks like. However, a lawyer offers comprehensive guidance to the nuances of the process, and a lawyer strengthens the credibility of your situation.
1. Research whether or not the EEOC covers situations likes yours, either by calling the EEOC office or consulting a lawyer. Also check to see if your discrimination problem happened within the EEOC deadline.
2. Plan to be available for two or more hours when visiting the office because most offices have limited staff.
3. While in the interview, be ready to answer questions and share situational evidence along with your complaint.
4. Finally, you will need the following information.
- your name, address, and telephone number
- the company name, address, and phone number that you are filing a complaint about
- discrimination description
- evidence of discrimination
- witness information
- discrimination events and dates
