Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Re: right to sue letter

If the EEOC does not find cause to believe a violation has occurred a right to sue letter is issued giving the charging party a right to bring their own lawsuit. If the EEOC finds cause they seek a voluntary settlement. If they fail and do not want to bring the case themselves a right to sue letter is issued. A charging party may request a right to sue letter prior to the agency completing its investigation and in that case the agency will often close their investigation and issue the letter. You only have 90 days to file a lawsuit after the EEOC issues the right to sue letter and cases are dismissed by courts when that is not done. If a right to sue letter has been issued to you do not delay. For more information see the EEOC web site at www.eeoc.gov. Of course, I suggest you speak with an employment attorney.

Re: right to sue letter

Its issued to all charging parties once the agency has completed its investigation. In truth, it is not a commentary on the merits (or lack thereof) of your claims. Contact an attorney immediately for advice b/c your time is now running from the date you received the notice.
