How it works

Indiana has a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC. A charge filed with Indiana Civil Rights Commission is generally also considered filed with the EEOC ("dual-filed"), and vice versa. You usually only need to file once.

Key notes

Indiana's state protections largely mirror federal law. The state does not explicitly protect sexual orientation or gender identity at the state level — workers rely on federal Bostock protections for those claims. The 180-day ICRC deadline is shorter than the federal window; file with the EEOC to preserve the full 300-day period.
