Employers found guilty might be expected to pay expensive damages in the form of back pay, hiring, promotion, reinstatement, front pay, reasonable accommodation, or other actions that will make the victim “whole,” in addition to the attorney fees and court costs.

If the EEOC finds that I was discriminated against, what can I get? If the EEOC finds discrimination, we will work with your employer to fix the situation. You could receive money damages as part of that process. We also can seek promotions, reinstatement, and other workplace changes for you.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces laws that make discrimination illegal in the workplace. The commission oversees all types of work situations including hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits.

The EEOC has the authority to investigate charges of discrimination against employers who are covered by the law. Our role in an investigation is to fairly and accurately assess the allegations in the charge and then make a finding. If we find that discrimination has occurred, we will try to settle the charge.

EEOC employees are subject to strict confidentiality requirements by law. Once a charge is filed, the individual's name and basic information about the allegations of discrimination will be disclosed to the employer. By law, we are required to notify the employer of the charge within 10 days of the filing date.

The laws enforced by the EEOC require the agency to notify the employer that a charge has been filed against it. A Charge of Discrimination can be completed through our EEOC Public Portal after you submit an online inquiry and we interview you. Filing a formal charge of employment discrimination is a serious matter.

EEOC can help you solve workplace problems. Sometimes, your employer may not adequately address a discrimination issue that you raise with them. In other cases, you may be too scared to bring certain discrimination issues to your employer's attention.
