Filing a complaint with the EEOC allows you to seek justice and potentially rectify the discrimination you faced without the added worry of public disclosure. This confidentiality can protect your professional reputation and personal privacy while the complaint is being investigated. Background Checks:
A job discrimination complaint may be filed by mail or in person at the nearest EEOC office. You can find the closest EEOC office by calling the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000, or by going to the EEOC's Field Office List and Jurisdiction Map and selecting the office closest to you.
Simply put, the burden of proof lies with the complainant, who must demonstrate evidence supporting their discrimination claim. This involves presenting facts and sometimes witness testimonies to make a compelling case that the discrimination occurred.

The position statement should clearly explain the Respondent's version of the facts and identify the specific documents and witnesses supporting its position. A well drafted position statement can help EEOC accelerate the investigation and limit requests for additional information.
