To deal with claims of discrimination in the workplace, the federal government created the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

Since 1964, all 50 states have enacted their own employment discrimination laws. Many of the state laws are similar to the federal civil rights laws, but offer additional protections including job discrimination based on marital status, sexual preference, or disability. These state discrimination laws are the Fair Employment Practice Acts (FEPA).

You cannot file an employment discrimination lawsuit without receiving written permission to do so from the EEOC or a FEPA agency. To receive permission, you must first make your way through the EEOC or FEPA administrative process.
