Victims of employment discrimination can pursue legal claims against their employers by filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC is the federal agency that enforces the anti-discrimination laws that protect employees.<\/p>\n

After an employee submits a letter of complaint to the EEOC, the EEOC will review the merits of the case and move forward based on that review. Here are some outcomes that employees could encounter<\/a> depending on the circumstances of their cases:<\/p>\n

When the EEOC does not believe discrimination has occurred<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the EEOC performs a review of the employee’s complaint and determines that no discrimination occurred, the EEOC explain its decision to the employee who complained. The EEOC sends a notice with appropriate details to the employee. This notice will state that the EEOC is closing the matter and that the employee will have 90 days to file a formal lawsuit on his or her own.<\/p>\n

When the EEOC believes that discrimination has occurred<\/strong><\/p>\n

If the EEOC believes that discrimination has occurred, the EEOC will inform both the employee and the employer with a “letter of discrimination” that details the EEOC’s findings. After that, the EEOC will try to reach a conciliatory settlement to which the employee and employer will agree.<\/p>\n

When the EEOC reaches a conciliatory settlement — often through a mediation process in which the complaining employee has the right to private legal representation — the case will be resolved as long as both sides of the settlement honor its terms.<\/p>\n

When the EEOC cannot reach a successful settlement of the matter, it will decide whether it will move forward with a federal lawsuit. If the EEOC chooses not to file suit, it will notify the parties and the employee will have 90 days to file a private lawsuit on his or her own, usually with the aid of a private attorney.<\/p>\n

Do you have a potential EEOC discrimination complaint?<\/strong><\/p>\n

An employee who has experienced workplace discrimination doesn’t have to try and navigate the process of filing an EEOC complaint on his or her own. With the assistance of a skilled EEOC employment law attorney, employees can organize their discrimination complaints<\/a> in a way that most appropriately supports their pursuit of justice and restitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
