Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR)
In Minnesota, there are several key agencies where you can file an employment discrimination complaint. One primary option is the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR). This state agency investigates discrimination claims and enforces Minnesota’s anti-discrimination laws. You can file a complaint online or by contacting their office directly for guidance. Our Minnesota employment law attorneys are here to help guide you through the process and provide the legal representation you need for a successful claim.
MNOSHA Compliance

The Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MNOSHA) handles workplace safety and health issues, including certain types of discrimination related to working conditions and safety. Filing a complaint with MNOSHA can address employment discrimination relative to unsafe working environments.
MnDOT Office of Civil Rights
If your employment discrimination takes place within the context of transportation projects or services, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Office of Civil Rights is an appropriate channel to utilize. This entity manages complaints violations related to civil rights in transportation-related employment. Consulting with experienced Minnesota employment law attorneys can help you navigate the specific procedures and legal requirements involved in filing a complaint with the MnDOT Office of Civil Rights, ensuring that your rights are fully protected.
