Employment Discrimination Complaint

EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINT. This form, provided by the United States District Court for the District of Utah, is intended to assist individuals—particularly those without legal representation (pro se litigants)—in filing an employment discrimination lawsuit in federal court. This form packet guides the plaintiff through the process of preparing a complaint under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as applicable sections of the United States Code, including 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, §1981, and 29 U.S.C. § 626 for age discrimination claims. Before filing the lawsuit, plaintiffs are generally required to follow administrative procedures, such as filing a charge with the Utah Anti-Discrimination Division and receiving a “Notice of Right to Sue” from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The form provides detailed instructions for completing the complaint, including identifying parties, describing the nature of the discrimination (such as termination, failure to promote, or harassment), specifying the protected characteristics at issue (such as race, sex, age, or religion), and stating the injuries suffered. It also explains how to outline specific facts, name defendants and their actions, and list prior legal or administrative actions taken. The form includes a declaration under penalty of perjury and outlines filing procedures, including payment of the $402 filing fee or applying for a waiver. It serves as a comprehensive tool to help plaintiffs properly structure and submit a legally sufficient employment discrimination complaint in federal court. www.FormsWorkflow.com
