What is the name of your state? Kentucky
I am scheduled to attend an EEOC mediation session on 6/11.
I have done a lot of soul searching and have decided to ask for $4200. This amount will cover back pay, time, trouble, and expenses of having to deal with this situation. I am aware of the fact that the cap for a business the size of my employer is $50,000; however, I am not a greedy gold digger. I know that if we do not reach an agreement of some kind, my employer will then be investigated.
My question is this: Should I initially request a sum that is higher than my bottom line?
I am not familiar with the way settlements work, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
