FAQ
A hostile work environment is a workplace where an employee feels uncomfortable, intimidated, or harassed due to their race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, or any other protected characteristic. This can include verbal or physical harassment, such as offensive jokes, slurs, or physical touching.
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.
Furthermore, to prove a hostile work environment, employees must provide evidence that their employer failed to take action after the employee reported work environment concerns. Acceptable evidence includes documentation (emails or messages), incident reports, or potential witnesses.
If you have questions, you may contact us at (804) 225-2136 or 1-800-533-1414. You can also email our Office at dei@dhrm.virginia. OWE will no longer accept mailed or paper complaint forms. All forms should be completed and submitted online.
Before filing your complaint, compile specific facts about the incidents, including the name and contact information of the person or entity you believe discriminated against you, relevant documents or evidence, and any witnesses' names and contact details. Choose your filing method.
Veterans, beneficiaries, and visitors can call the HPP: 1-888-566-3982 if the alleged harasser is a VA employee or Contractor. An HPP Specialist will help callers determine if harassment allegations are covered by VA Directive 5979 and VA Handbook 5979, and whether any other avenues exist to address their concerns.
Document everything – Proving a hostile work environment means providing evidence. This includes emails, messages, recordings, and other documentation that shows you reported the work environment and your employer either took corrective action or failed to do so.
Keep the tone neutral and factual. Frame it in terms of the impact it has had on your ability to do your job effectively, rather than just your personal experience. For example: ``The hostile work environment has made it increasingly difficult for me to perform my duties to the best of my abilities.''
