EEOC Violations & Investigation

An EEOC complaint is a formal matter filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The Commission is a part of the Labor Department of the U.S. government. It hears matters between employers and employees, most typically where there is an allegation of discrimination. Cases may end up going to formal trial in the federal courts. However, the Commission has administrative powers to make ruling that affect the rights of the parties. Therefore, if a case goes to federal court it is often an appeal of an EEOC Complaint that was not resolved by the Commission.
