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. Laws under the EEOC's enforcement mission include title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et seq.), the Age [[Page 373]] [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] T217558.035 [[Page 374]] Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.), sections of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791 et seq.), the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206), title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 (105 Stat. 1071). The EEOC is a bipartisan commission composed of five members appointed by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for staggered 5-year terms. The President designates a Chairman and Vice Chairman. In addition to the members of the Commission, the President appoints a General Counsel, with the advice and consent of the Senate, to support the Commission and provide direction, coordination, and supervision of the EEOC's litigation program. The General Counsel serves for a term of 4 years. Activities Enforcement The EEOC enforces its statutory, regulatory, policy, and program responsibilities through its headquarters-based Office of Field Programs, the Office of General Counsel, and 53 field offices. The field offices receive charges of discrimination from the public and use a variety of resolution methods, tailored to each charge, from voluntary mediation to full-scale. The field staff is responsible for achieving a wide range of objectives, focusing on the quality, timeliness, and appropriateness of individual, class, and systemic charges and for securing relief for victims of discrimination in accordance with Commission policies. The field staff also counsel individuals about their rights under the laws enforced by the EEOC and conduct outreach and technical assistance programs. The Office of General Counsel conducts the Commission's litigation in U.S. District Courts and Courts of Appeal. Complaints Against the Federal Government The EEOC establishes the procedures for Federal employees and job applicants to file complaints of employment discrimination or retaliation for having in engaged in protected EEO activity. The agency charged with discrimination is responsible for informal counseling, and, if a complaint is filed and that complaint is accepted, for investigating the claims raised therein. At the conclusion of the investigation, complainants may request a hearing before an EEOC administrative judge or that the agency issue a final decision on the matter. The agency's final decision or final action after a hearing may be appealed to the Commission. In addition, the Office of Federal Operations provides oversight and technical assistance concerning EEO complaint adjudication and the maintenance of effective affirmative programs of equal employment opportunity throughout the Federal government. Using the guidance and principles contained in the EEOC's EEO Management Directive 715, the Commission monitors and evaluates Federal agencies' affirmative employment programs under title VII and section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act and ensures that all Federal employees compete on a fair and level playing field. Other Activities The Commission promotes voluntary compliance with equal employment opportunity statutes through a variety of educational and technical assistance activities. The Commission's outreach and education programs provide general information about the EEOC, its mission, rights and responsibilities under the statutes enforced by the Commission, and the charge/complaint process. EEOC representatives are available on a limited basis at no cost to make presentations and participate in meetings, conferences, and seminars with employee and employer groups, professional associations, students, nonprofit entities, community organizations, and other members of the general public. The Commission also offers more in-depth training tailored to employers for a fee. This training is available to private employers and State, local, and Federal government personnel through the EEOC Training Institute. The EEOC Training Institute provides a wide variety of training to assist in educating managers and employees on the laws enforced by [[Page 375]] the EEOC and how to prevent and eliminate discrimination in the workplace. The EEOC develops policy guidance and provides technical assistance to employers and employees, and coordinates with other agencies and stakeholders regarding the statutes and regulations it enforces. 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. This collection of data is shared with selected Federal agencies and is made available, in appropriate form, for public use.
