Skilled West Virginia Employment Attorneys For EEOC And HRC Proceedings
When you face workplace discrimination in West Virginia, you have both federal and state options for pursuing justice. At Bouchillon Crossan & Colburn, L.C., we represent employees in proceedings before both the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the West Virginia Human Rights Commission (HRC).
We leverage our extensive knowledge to help workers through these administrative processes to protect their rights and seek fair resolution.
With decades of combined experience in employment law, our Huntington-based attorneys have experience representing clients before the West Virginia Human Rights Commission and the EEOC. We understand the distinct advantages and requirements of each venue and can guide you toward the best path forward for your unique situation.
Understanding Your Options: EEOC Vs. HRC
The EEOC enforces federal anti-discrimination laws, protecting workers from discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability and genetic information. As a federal agency, the EEOC provides one avenue for addressing workplace discrimination.
The West Virginia Human Rights Commission serves as our state’s watchdog against discrimination, working to foster respect, tolerance and mutual understanding among all citizens. The HRC enforces the West Virginia Human Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. While similar to federal protections, state proceedings through the HRC can offer distinct advantages for many West Virginia workers.
