    Question What Can I Expect During Mediation As Opposed To Litigation

    State of Illinois:
    I filed a charge of discrimination, harrassment, retaliation against my previous employer. In addition, they made big time FMLA violations, which I think I will have to file separately. The charge went to mediation and my former employer has accepted this offer from EEOC---I was not notified about it. I only found out about this by calling EEOC for an update.

    My dilemma is, becoz I have never been to a mediation nor litigation, I have no idea as to what I can expect and what I should be prepared to face and prepare for.

    1.) Is a "mediation" the same as a "settlement"?
    2.) Is this when the supposed party being charged with the violations, try to offer money to keep everything quiet and not escalate?
    3.) When should I get a lawyer involved?
    4.) Should I decide not to go thru mediation, what would happen?

    I would really appreciate any response especially from the senior members.
    Thank you very much.

    EEOC explains its mediation process at http://www.eeoc.gov/mediate/index.html. Reviewing http://www.eeoc.gov/charge/overview_...rocessing.html might also be useful.
