The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission eliminates discrimination 
based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age 
in hiring, promoting, firing, setting wages, testing, training, 
apprenticeship, and all other terms and conditions of employment. The 
Commission conducts investigations of alleged discrimination; makes 
determinations based on gathered evidence; attempts conciliation when 
discrimination has taken place; files lawsuits; and conducts voluntary 
assistance programs for employers, unions, and community organizations. 
The Commission also has adjudicatory and oversight responsibility for 
all compliance and enforcement activities relating to equal employment 
opportunity among Federal employees and applicants, including 
discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by Title 
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-4), and became 
operational July 2, 1965. Title VII was amended by the Equal Employment 
Opportunity Act of 1972, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, and 
the Civil Rights Act of 1991.
    Executive Order 12067 of June 30, 1978, abolished the Equal 
Employment Opportunity Coordinating Council and transferred its duties 
to the Commission with responsibility for providing coherence and 
direction to the Government's equal employment opportunity efforts.
    Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978 (5 U.S.C. app.) effective January 
1, 1979, transferred Federal equal employment functions from the Civil 
Service Commission to the EEOC. Authorities for transferred functions 
include:
    --section 717 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 
U.S.C. 2000e-16), which prohibits discrimination in employment in the 
Federal Government on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or 
national origin;
    --Executive Order 11478 of August 8, 1969, which sets forth the U.S. 
policy of providing for equal employment opportunity in the Federal 
Government through affirmative action programs in Federal departments 
and agencies;
    --the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206) in the Federal sector;
    --section 15 of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as 
amended (29 U.S.C. 633a) in the Federal sector; and
    --section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791), 
which pertains

[[Page 513]]

to employment discrimination against individuals with disabilities in 
the Federal Government.
    On July 1, 1979, responsibility for enforcement--in private industry 
as well as in State and local governments--of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 
and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 was transferred 
from the Department of Labor to the Commission. The former act prohibits 
sex-based pay differences where substantially equal work performed in 
the same establishment under similar working conditions requires equal 
skill, effort, and responsibility; and the latter prohibits employment 
discrimination against workers or applicants 40 years of age or older. 
In addition to employers, the age discrimination act covers activities 
of employment agencies, and both acts cover activities of labor 
organizations.
    The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101 
et seq.) was approved on July 26, 1990. Title I of the act has been 
enforced by EEOC since July 26, 1992, for employers with 25 or more 
employees, and since July 26, 1994, for employers with 15 or more 
employees. Title I governs private employers, State and local 
governments, employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-
management committees. The act prohibits employment discrimination 
against qualified individuals with disabilities and requires that 
employers make reasonable accommodations for such qualified individuals 
if it would not create undue hardship.
    The Civil Rights Act of 1991 reversed parts of several U.S. Supreme 
Court rulings and provided for compensatory and punitive damages for 
intentional discrimination under Title VII of that act, the 
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the ADA.
    The Commission is composed of five Commissioners appointed by the 
President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 5-year 
staggered terms. The President designates a Chairman and a Vice 
Chairman.
    The Commission operates through 50 field offices, each of which 
processes charges.

Activities

Enforcement  The Commission's field offices receive charges of job 
discrimination under Title VII, the ADA, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and 
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. Field offices may 
initiate investigations to find violations of the acts. Members of the 
Commission also may initiate charges alleging that a violation of Title 
VII or the ADA has occurred. Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 
1973 covers Federal employees and applicants only.

Charges Under Title VII  Title VII prohibits employment discrimination 
based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin by private 
employers, State and local governments, and educational institutions 
with 15 or more employees, or by the Federal Government, private and 
public employment agencies, labor organizations, and joint labor-
management committees for apprenticeship and training.
    Charges of Title VII violations outside of the Federal sector must 
be filed with the Commission within 180 days of the alleged violation 
(or up to 300 days in a State or locality in which a fair employment 
practices agency is located), and the Commission is responsible for 
notifying persons so charged within 10 days of the receipt of a new 
charge. Before investigation, charges must be deferred for 60 days to a 
State or local fair employment practices agency in States and 
municipalities where there is a fair employment practices law covering 
the alleged discrimination. The deferral period is 120 days if the 
agency has been operating less than 1 year. Under worksharing agreements 
executed between the Commission and State and local fair employment 
practices agencies, the Commission routinely will assume jurisdiction 
over certain charges of discrimination and proceed with its 
investigation rather than wait for the expiration of the deferral 
period.

[[Page 514]]

    If there is reasonable cause to believe the charge is true, the 
district, area, or local office attempts to remedy the alleged unlawful 
practices through informal methods of conciliation, conference, and 
persuasion. If an acceptable conciliation agreement is not secured, the 
case is considered for possible litigation. If litigation is approved, 
the Commission will bring suit in an appropriate Federal district court.
    Under Title VII, the Attorney General brings suit when a State or 
local government, or political subdivision is involved. If the 
Commission or the Attorney General does not approve litigation or if a 
finding of no reasonable cause is made, at the conclusion of the 
administrative procedures (or earlier at the request of the charging 
party) a Notice of Right-to-Sue is issued that allows the charging party 
to proceed within 90 days in a Federal district court. In appropriate 
cases, the Commission may intervene in such civil action if the case is 
of general public interest. The investigation and conciliation of 
charges having an industrywide or national impact are coordinated or 
conducted by Systemic Investigations and Individual Compliance Programs, 
Office of Program Operations.
    Under the provisions of Title VII, section 706(f)(2), as amended by 
section 4 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 (42 U.S.C. 
2000e-5), if it is concluded after a preliminary investigation that 
prompt judicial action is necessary to carry out the purposes of the 
act, the Commission or the Attorney General, in a case involving a State 
or local government, governmental agency or political subdivision, may 
bring an action for appropriate temporary or preliminary relief pending 
final disposition of a charge.

Americans with Disabilities Act Charges  The Americans with Disabilities 
Act of 1990 specifically incorporates the powers, remedies, and 
procedures contained in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 
Employment discrimination charges based on disability may be filed at 
any of the Commission's field offices. The Commission will investigate 
and attempt to conciliate the charges using the same procedures it uses 
to investigate and conciliate charges filed under Title VII. The 
litigation procedures under this title apply to charges filed under the 
act.

Age Discrimination in Employment or Equal Pay Act Charges and Complaints  
The age discrimination in employment and equal pay acts cover most 
employees and job applicants in private industry and Federal, State, and 
local governments.
    An age discrimination charge must be filed with the Commission 
within 180 days of the alleged violation or, in a case where the alleged 
discriminatory action took place in a State which has its own age 
discrimination law and authority administering that law, within 300 days 
of the alleged violation or 30 days after the receipt of a notice of 
termination of State proceedings, whichever is earlier. The Commission 
will attempt to eliminate the unlawful practice through informal methods 
of conciliation, conference, and persuasion. A lawsuit may be brought by 
the Commission if conciliation fails, or individuals may file suit on 
their own behalf 90 days after filing a charge with the Commission and 
the appropriate State agency, but no later than 90 days after receipt of 
notice of final action by the Commission. Should the Commission take 
legal action, an individual covered by such action may not file a 
private suit. If an individual files a complaint of age discrimination, 
instead of a charge, his or her name will be kept confidential, but the 
individual filing the complaint may not bring a private suit unless he 
or she elects to file a charge first in accordance with the above 
requirements.
    A lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 may be filed by the 
Commission or by the complainant. There are no administrative 
prerequisites to individual actions under this law. Wages may be 
recovered for a period of up to 2 years prior to the filing of a suit, 
except in the case of willful violation, where 3 years' backpay may be 
recovered. The name of the individual filing the complaint may be kept 
confidential at the administrative level.

[[Page 515]]

Complaints Against the Federal Government  The Commission's Federal 
sector processing regulations, codified in 29 CFR 1614, effective 
October 1, 1992, guide Federal employees or job applicants who want to 
file complaints of job discrimination based on race, color, national 
origin, sex, religion, age, or physical or mental disability. 
Complainants must first consult an equal employment opportunity 
counselor within their agency within 45 calendar days of the alleged 
discriminatory event or the effective date of the alleged discriminatory 
personnel action. If the matter cannot be resolved informally, the 
person may file a formal complaint within 15 calendar days after the 
date of receipt of the notice of the right to file a complaint. An 
accepted complaint is investigated by the respondent agency, and there 
is a right to a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge before the 
agency issues its final decision.
    An individual who wishes to file a complaint under the Equal Pay Act 
of 1963 must also follow these procedures. However, an individual may 
also elect to file suit under the Equal Pay Act of 1963 without prior 
resort to the agency or to the Commission.
    Federal-sector age discrimination complainants may bypass the 
administrative complaint process and file a civil action directly in a 
U.S. district court by first notifying the Commission within 180 
calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act and thereafter waiting 
30 calendar days before filing suit.
    Federal employees may file appeals of final agency decisions or 
decisions of an arbitrator or the Federal Labor Relations Authority with 
the Commission's Office of Federal Operations at any time up to 30 
calendar days after receipt of the agency notice of final decision. A 
petition for review of a Merit Systems Protection Board decision may be 
filed within 30 days of the date that the Board decision becomes final. 
A request for reopening and reconsideration of any decision of the 
Commission should be made in writing within 30 days of receipt of such 
decision. Commission decisions are issued in writing to the complainant 
and the agency. The Office of Federal Operations monitors and ensures 
compliance by Federal agencies with Commission orders and appellate 
decisions, and provides technical assistance and training to other 
Federal agencies.

Other Activities  The Commission actively promotes voluntary compliance 
with equal employment opportunity statutes through a variety of 
educational and technical assistance activities. A distinct activity of 
the Commission is the Voluntary Assistance Program. This outreach 
program is designed to provide educational and technical assistance to 
small and midsize employers and unions--through 1-day seminars on equal 
employment opportunity laws--about their rights and obligations under 
all the statutes that the Commission enforces.
    Another activity initiated by the Commission is the Expanded 
Presence Program, which is designed to make the Commission accessible in 
areas identified as underserved by Commission offices.
    Through its Educational Technical Assistance and Training Revolving 
Fund, the Commission is also able to provide its constituency with 
advanced and specialized technical assistance offerings. Fees charged 
for Revolving Fund products are not to exceed the cost of producing the 
materials or services provided, are to bear a direct relationship to the 
cost of providing such outreach, and are to be imposed on a uniform 
basis.
    The Commission participates in the development of employment 
discrimination law through the issuance of guidelines, publication of 
significant Commission decisions, and involvement in litigation brought 
under Title VII, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Age Discrimination in 
Employment Act of 1967, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the 
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
    The Commission has direct liaison with Federal, State, and local 
governments, employers and union organizations, trade associations, 
civil rights organizations, and other agencies and organizations 
concerned with

[[Page 516]]

employment of minority group members and women.
    The Commission develops and implements affirmative employment 
policies designed to enhance the occupational status of minorities, 
women, and persons with disabilities in the Federal Government.
    The Commission also publishes data on the employment status of 
minorities and women. Through 6 employment surveys covering private 
employers, apprenticeship programs, labor unions, State and local 
governments, elementary and secondary schools, and colleges and 
universities, the Commission tabulates and stores data on the ethnic, 
racial, and sex composition of employees at all job levels within the 
reported groups.
    Research information thus collected is shared with selected Federal 
agencies, and is made available, in appropriate form, for public use.
