Which two of the following statements describe the purpose of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC?

Answer 1

To eliminate from the US employers larger than 15 employees all employment discrimination specified as illegal in Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination Act, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Equal Pay Act, and Americans with Disabilities Act.

Answer 2

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is responsible for hearing cases of dissemination in the workplace rather it is on who gets hired, compensation or benefits. They are also responsible for hearing cases of harassment and retaliation.

Answer 3

It provides nationwide offices for submitting employment discrimination charges.

It investigates about half of charges filed, but very rarely finds reason to believe EEO laws were violated (about 6% of all charges). A notice of right to sue letter from EEOC is REQUIRED to file a Title VII suit.

It publishes non-binding opinions and guidelines about what constitutes illegal employment discrimination, and oddly stands by then even when federal courts unanimously reject them.

EEOC Administrative law judges hear charges from all federal agencies ... and still find only about 9% of THOSE charges constitute illegal discrimination.

While EEOC almost never sues an employer, it does pay to pursue some selected cases to appeals courts, yielding broad legal principles about what EEO law means.
