How it works

Utah has a work-sharing agreement with the EEOC. A charge filed with Utah Antidiscrimination & Labor Division (UALD) is generally also considered filed with the EEOC ("dual-filed"), and vice versa. You usually only need to file once.

Key notes

Utah was an early adopter of explicit state-level sexual orientation and gender identity protections, adding them in 2015. The 180-day UALD deadline is shorter than the federal window — file with the EEOC simultaneously to preserve the full 300-day federal period.
