EEO Complaints Information for Managers
Managers & supervisors are often confused when an EEO complaint is filed naming them. This page is intended to provide managers & supervisors with information to skillfully respond to EEO Complaints.
Step 1
Cooperate throughout the informal and formal process. At the informal stage, a counselor will conduct a limited inquiry with the purpose of:
- presenting the issues to you and listening to your side
- attempt a resolution and
- if the complainant is interested in mediation, it is strongly encouraged you participate.
Step 2
At the formal stage, a case manager will be assigned from the EEO Office. Please stay in touch with this case manager who will advise you on what to expect at: Investigation, Final Agency Decision; EEOC Hearing, and/or District Court.
