All written documents are reviewed. The information gathered during the investigation is evaluated in light of federal, state and County EEO law to determine if discrimination has occurred. There are employment practices that you feel may be unfair but are not illegal. Unless you have some information to support your belief that you may have been discriminated against in conjunction with one of the legal bases, the EEO Access Office may not be able to substantiate your complaint. However, a representative from the EEO Access Office can discuss your concerns with you and may refer you to other County resources.
