Alternative Dispute Resolution Options

Summary

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) can be a faster, less formal option for EEO concerns, promoting cooperative resolutions. Traditional EEOC counseling is more formal and required before filing a formal complaint. In ADA claims, mediators should be neutral, but if you doubt their fairness, request a different mediator or document concerns. The amount of damages in an EEO claim depends on factors like discrimination severity and financial losses. Discuss health concerns with your employer and healthcare provider before returning to work. Legal advice can help determine reasonable damages and ensure your rights are protected.
