Presented by Saul Schwartz, Esq.

An improper dismissal decision can be costly in terms of time and other agency resources, so it's essential to get it right the first time. In this recorded webinar, former OMWI and EEO Director Saul Schwartz takes you through the regulations governing EEO complaint dismissal, common errors agencies make and how to avoid them, plus the pandemic's role in dismissal decisions.

Avoid the consequences of improperly dismissed claims by gaining practical guidance to:

• Articulate the reasons for a dismissal decision so it is adequately supported for EEOC review
• Determine when an EEO complaint fails to state a claim and can therefore be dismissed
• Apply the timeliness standards and recognize when untimeliness should be excused
• Examine the unique considerations of a retaliation claim when determining acceptance or dismissal
• Consider the pandemic's impact on issues of timeliness and inability to contact complainants
• And more!
