------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces laws which prohibit 
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. The Commission is comprised 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 of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans 
with Disabilities Act, the Equal Pay Act, and the Age Discrimination in 
Employment Act. Field offices may initiate investigations to find 
violations of the acts.
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.
    If there is reasonable cause to believe a charge filed 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.
Americans with Disabilities Act Charges  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.

Complaints  When a discrimination charge is filed, 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. A lawsuit under the EPA may be filed by the Commission or by 
the complainant.
Complaints Against the Federal Government  The Commission's Federal 
sector processing regulations 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. 
Informal mediation of the matter is required before filing a charge. 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. Final decisions may be appealed.
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 the relevant statutes.
    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 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 six 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.
    This collection of research information is shared with selected 
Federal agencies and is made available, in appropriate form, for public 
use.
