How do I file a discrimination charge in Illinois?
Step 1: Act within the deadline. You have 300 days to file with the Illinois Department of Human Rights or 365 if you only wish to pursue a claim under the The Illinois Human Rights Act.
Step 2: Gather your evidence. Document discriminatory conduct: dates, times, who was involved, what was said or done, and any witnesses.
Step 3: File your charge. You can file with the IDHR online, by mail, or in person at their Chicago or Springfield offices. Filing with the EEOC automatically cross-files with the IDHR (and vice versa) through a work-sharing agreement, so you typically only need to file at one agency.
Step 4: The investigation. After filing, the agency will notify your employer and begin an investigation. This may include a request for documents, witness interviews, and a mediation offer.
Step 5: Right to sue. If the investigation does not resolve your charge, you can request a Right to Sue letter from the EEOC (after 180 days) and proceed to federal court, or request a hearing before an IDHR administrative law judge.
