EEOC will give the organization time to respond to the allegations, conduct a timely investigation, and inform the organization of the final outcome. Once all information is gathered and the investigator completes his investigation, then the EEOC will determine if the charges have any merit.
If the investigator is unable to find true cause for the discrimination charge, then the charging party will be issued a Dismissal and Notice of Rights. The statement will let the charging party know that they have 90 days to file a lawsuit in federal court.
If the investigator finds that discrimination has occurred both parties will be served with a Letter of Determination. The letter encourages both parties to sit down and resolve the issue in an informal process known as conciliation. But if conciliation does not resolve the issue, then EEOC has the authority to file a lawsuit in a federal court. But if EEOC decides not to litigate, then it is up to the charging party after receiving a Notice of Right to Sue, they have 90 days to file a suit with a federal

    Title VII Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964: Case Study

    Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, no employer can discriminate against an employee based upon race, color, religion, sex or national origin. When Shaun is demoted by Montgomery’s it was because the customer (Phil) made a false complaint about her supposedly saying a racial slur towards Phil. Thus under federal law Shaun was not discriminated against because the law only applies to undesirable employer actions against employees based upon Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which is race, color, sexual orientation, national origin and so on. Shaun being demoted was not based on those examples; it was based on her alleged behavior. Even though it was based on a lie told by Phil because he don’t like Hispanics there technically…

    Henry's Turkey Service Case Study

    In the case of the EEOC vs. Henry’s Turkey, one could question the intellectual capacity for the employees to follow a resolution process. A resolution process offers employees a way to communicate and up the chain to their leaders. When employees feel they are heard, they are more content and productive. Emotions influence what people remember, what information is processed, and how they act (Wistrich, Rachlinski, & Guthrie, 2015). Although a resolution process should be in place, in my opinion, the duty to report a complaint should be shared by those who are victims and those who witness discriminatory…

    Disparate Treatment: Illegal Discrimination Case Study

    Costa there is an increased possibility that an employer may be found liable of discrimination if an employee brings a mixed-motive case against them. Due to the increased likelihood of being found liable employers should take all possible steps to avoid any discrimination claims. They should clearly communicate with all employees their policy against unlawful employment discrimination and harassment. The information should be circulated throughout the workplace on a regular basis and strictly enforced by managers and supervisors. Employers should also carefully review all possible terminations for discriminatory treatment before actual…

    But, the Court of Appeals noted in Newsom that the parties in these cases were forced to waive claims that were unquestionably owed to them but deliberately not paid, as opposed to negotiating over disputed claims. Moreover, the parties in those cases “strenuously protested the unfairness of the release under the circumstances; had no significant period of time in which to negotiate; or suffered a combination of these factors.” To my knowledge, none of these circumstances apply to our employment discrimination…

    Consequently, filing a formal complaint with the EEOC is a protected activity. Equally, by law, the employer can't retaliate or punish employee. However, quite often after the employer is notified of the charges; the claimant may experience increased harassment and retaliation. In addition, there is a clear cause and effect, or "causal connection" and an element of timing "temporal proximity". However, the time associated temporal proximity can be as little as a week or two weeks; even months. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for the employer to "paper" the employee's personnel file in an attempt to make them appear as "troubled" or "non-productive". For instance, the employee usually receives stellar evaluation; suddenly it is substandard.…

    Discrimination In The Workplace Case Study

Title VII also prohibits acts of retaliation. Another type of sexual harassment is know as a hostile work environment. In 1986 the Supreme Court recognized that a hostile work environment is one where hostile conditions in the workplace are severe and pervasive, unwelcome, and based on the victim’s gender (Lau, T. & Johnson, L. 2015). The Equal Employment Opportunity Commision oversees the enforcement of rules and regulations that govern this act. Furthermore, this stipulates that an employer should award equal opportunities to all employees regardless of race or…
