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 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.)
