FAQ
Any employee who feels that he/she has been unfairly discriminated against or that an employer has contravened the laws may lodge a grievance in writing with their employer. The matter may thereafter be referred to the CCMA if the issue cannot be resolved at the workplace.
The discrimination complaint process consists of two phases: the Informal Stage and the Formal Stage. You must initiate contact with an ORMDI EEO counselor within 45 days of the date of the alleged act of discrimination by calling 888-566-3982 or visiting your local ORMDI District Office.
Complaints under state law must be filed within 180 days of the date you became aware you were being discriminated against or the date of the alleged illegal act. You may file a complaint with the Commission by calling (804) 225-2292, visiting the office at 900 E.
Agencies are required to complete investigations within the earlier of 180 days after the filing of the last complaint or 360 days after the filing of the original complaint.
However, discrimination is a state of mind and, therefore, notoriously hard to prove. Sophisticated employers are well aware that discrimination is illegal. Thus, most cases are established through circumstantial evidence.
Submit online at .hud/fairhousing/fileacomplaint or send your claim form to the FHEO regional office that serves the state or territory where the discrimination happened. We'll review your information and contact you a soon as possible.
The investigation must be appropriate, impartial, and completed within 180 days of filing the complaint The EEO Director or designee and the complainant may agree in writing, consistent with 29 C.F.R. § 1614.108(e), to an extension of not more than ninety (90) days; or within the period of time set forth in 29 C.F.R.
It is important to note, that just because disability is the most common basis for filed fair housing complaints, it does not necessarily mean that it is the one that occurs most often.
Those that file fair housing complaints are known as “complainants.” Those against whom fair housing complaints are filed are called “respondents.”
