Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast—"All Your New York State Division of Human Rights Questions Answered, Part 1," With Debbie Kent

In episode 37, Barclay Damon Live: Labor & Employment Podcast host Ari Kwiatkowski welcomes Debbie Kent, regional director of the New York State Division of Human Rights’ Buffalo Office. In the first part of the episode, Ari and Debbie share preliminary information about what the division and its mission are, what it does, and how it’s organized. They then turn to how a discrimination complaint is filed and whether every complaint that’s filed is covered, and if it’s covered, what happens? They explain more about the process, including when a case may go to the EEOC instead of the Division of Human Rights. Listen and be sure to tune in for an even deeper dive with Debbie in the next episode.
