Delaware Department of Labor: Anti-Discrimination Unit

Any individual who believes that his or her employment rights have been violated under the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act or the Handicapped Persons Employment Protections Act may file a charge of discrimination with DDOL.

How is a Charge of Discrimination filed?

A charge may be filed in person at the DDOL office in Dover or Wilmington.

You may start the process by downloading and completing Discrimination Intake Form. You can access the questionnaire and learn about how to submit it on the DDOL's website:

Individuals who need an accommodation in order to file a charge (e.g., sign language interpreter, print materials in an accessible format) should inform the DDOL office in advance so appropriate arrangements can be made.
