How do I report workplace harassment anonymously?
File with OSHA online at osha.gov — you can request that your name not be revealed to your employer. The EEOC also accepts anonymous tips, though a named charge is needed to open a formal investigation.
How long do I have to report workplace discrimination?
You must file an EEOC charge within 180 days of the incident — or 300 days if your state has its own anti-discrimination law (most do). Do not wait.
Can my employer retaliate if I report them?
Retaliation is illegal under federal law. If your employer retaliates after you file a complaint, report the retaliation to the same agency immediately — it strengthens your case significantly.
