Introduction to the EEOC

The EEOC is the federal agency primarily charged with enforcement of the federal equal employment opportunity laws. Additionally, every company with more than 100 employees or with more than 50 employees and with federal contracts totaling $50,000 or more must file an EEO-1 report with the EEOC each year.
The EEO-1 identifies the company’s EEO compliance data based on protected classifications within federal law. In addition, the EEO-1 has started including requirements for the reporting of compensation data from companies with more than 100 employees. This data will be used “to enable staff to assess pay disparities based on sex, ethnicity, or race.”
The 2004 Supreme Court case set new standards for demonstrating constructive discharge from a company, and in so doing, it created a more difficult employment environment for employers. Every employer or manager needs to understand this concept.

Looks like a friend of mine has one against his company. He made a complaint about the excessive overtime. A week later, he gets an annual review where he is asked his age, when he plans to retire, and then begins trying to convince him into retiring. When he didn't, his job was changed and he got a negative job assessment.

EEOC agency should be abolished. They just rake taxpayers' money. If you call and tell the story, they ask you if you can prove or if you have a witness.
