As a federal EEO practitioner, you need to make timely — and legally sound — decisions regarding employee complaints. In easy-to-read, Q&A format, Addressing and Processing Federal EEO Complaints gives you authoritative solutions to the most common — and challenging — questions raised by EEO professionals, including:
- Can an employee be subject to racial discrimination by an individual of the same race?
- What is "front pay"?
- How does a complainant establish a prima facie case of discrimination under the Equal Pay Act?
- What are the requirements for an agreement settling an age discrimination claim?
- And many more
Plus, you learn how to handle discrimination claims based on disparate treatment, gender, national origin, religion, race, disability and age. And, because the EEOC’s decisions are fact-specific, answers include cites to cases, statutes, regulations and EEOC materials — so you can apply the reasoning to your claims and accurately support your position.
What's more, an entire chapter is devoted to the EEO administrative process so you understand the differences between informal and formal resolution, the nuts and bolts of the administrative hearing, and how to manage appeals to the EEOC.
