The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) oversees equal employment in the federal workplace. The EEOC handles discrimination, retaliation, and harassment claims related to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other federal legislation.
Our attorneys handle EEOC cases nationwide. We represent federal employees in all EEOC proceedings, including investigations, administrative hearings and judicial appeals. We also litigate employee rights' cases in federal district courts.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PERSUE A CLAIM
If you believe you have been discriminated against at your place of employment, you have the legal right to file a complaint and pursue a claim for monetary damages or other remedy. You may have a valid EEOC claim if you have been discriminated against based on:
Age
Disability
National Origin
Race
Color
Religion
Gender
Pregnancy
In addition to discrimination based on any of the above, you are able to pursue actions based on certain protected activities. This includes retaliation for filing a previous EEO complaint, acting as a witness for another EEO complainant, and opposing EEO violations.
The EEOC process can be complicated. Agency attorneys tend to use the process to their advantage in a way that discourages complainant's from reaching the finish line. Our attorneys can help you through the process.
