What happens when the Equal Employment opportunity commission determines that an employer is guilty of discrimination or sexual harassment?
The EEOC has no such power. Congress denied it to EEOC every time Congress amended Title VII since 1964. EEOC investigated a few charges and determines that there is "reason to believe that EEO law was violated". EEOC finds "reason to believe" in less than 10% of charges filed ... EVER. The other 90% are dismissed. EEOC then invites employer to settle. IF employer declines (most do decline) EEOC General Counsel in DC decides whether EEOC will sue. EEOC almost never sues, but dismisses the charge, inviting the charging party to sue at its own expense within 90 days of dismissal. Almost no one ever does. Plaintiffs win about 25% of EEO lawsuits, usually about six years after filing suit. Total damages are limited by law to $500,000 per person. No one has ever won a million dollar EEO jury award. (Class actions, a few, no individuals. Settlements a few, but never a jury award.)
Is it legal for an employer to fire someone for theft when there is absolutely no proof that they took anything?
No. It is a misconception that an employer cannot terminate an employee without specific reason. The employee may have grounds to file suit against an employer if it can be proven that he or she were discriminated against under the EEOC laws and regulations.
What happen when the eeoc determines that an employer is guilty of discrimination or sexual harassment?
The EEOC doesn't decide guilt or innocence. They are an agency that helps determine if it was possible there was discrimination. If there's a determination of guilt, that is by a judge or jury, that is if it actually goes to trial. Many go to mediation or settlement, which means no guilt or innocence charge is made, the employer and employee simply settle on how to make both parties happy without going to court.
What can an employee do if they feel they are being harassed at work regarding the employer wants to get them fired because of pay?
Harassment becasue of pay is not illegal, so you cannot file a charge with EEOC or a state agency. An employer can fire anyone it employs as long as no statute or contract gets violated. An employer does not "get you fired" ... it fires you.
Can an employer fire an employee who failed a drug test and is a convicted felon?
Yes. An employer can fire anyone who fails a drug test regardless of their criminal history. FYI, in the majority of US states an employer has the right to fire any employee as long as the employee's status is not protected under EEOC laws and regulations regarding discrimination.
If an employee was fired without cause can the employer announce in a workplace meeting that the former employee quit?
No, they cannot. It's purely illegal. Contact the EEOC and they will do an investigation that may get you your job back, either way they will do something about it.
