In enforcing Title VII's prohibition of race and color discrimination, the EEOC has filed, resolved, and adjudicated a number of cases since 1964. A Charge of Discrimination can be completed through our EEOC Public Portal after you submit an online inquiry and we interview you.Here are highlights of a variety of cases the EEOC publicized that illustrate different categories of alleged illegal discrimination. Those efforts are undercut when employers discriminate against workers or applicants because of their race, gender, or other attributes irrelevant to the job. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is a federal law that makes it illegal to discriminate employees based on race, color, religion, or sex. In addition to investigating complaints and handling discrimination charges, the EEOC conducts outreach programs to prevent future cases. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces this law. Finally, you will likely be asked to fill out an intake questionnaire. Racial discrimination might also lurk in the indirect practices of your employer that cause disparate treatment along racial lines. 1) Please fill out the complaint form, answering all of the questions.
