The Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) process for federal employees is unique. Federal employees facing discrimination or retaliation cases must use specific procedures in order to bring an EEO complaint. Please visit our webpage for more information. Federal employees can often become confused with the private sector EEO complaint process which is much different.
What Kinds of Claims are Covered?
Federal employee EEO complaints can involve a range of discriminatory conduct by federal agencies. These can include discrimination on the basis of age, disability, race, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information and national origin. In addition, EEO complaints can also involve a hostile work environment, sexual harassment and retaliation. EEO complaints by federal employees must be tied to actions taken against them in the federal workplace.
