QUESTION: WHAT DOES "FEPA" STAND FOR?

'FEPA' stands for the
"Fair Employment Practice Agency"

Who:EEOC = the Equal Employment Opportunity Commmission
What:Administrative Agency that investigates discrimination
Where:US. Federal. Executive Branch.
When:1964
How:Statutes: Title VII, Title VIII, etc.
Regulations: 29 CFR 1600 - 29 CFR 1695
Why:Combat discrimination to help form a more perfect union, and improve the general welfare
Web:EEOC.gov
Who Else:State agencies which replicate the EEOC's efforts (eg, the FCHR, etc.)
Basically, the EEOC is a federal agency that investigates complaints of discrimination (employment, public accommodations).

People submit their complaints to the agency before filing their lawsuits.

Pertinently, the [federal] EEOC typically lets state agencies (eg, the FCHR) perform the investigations. In most instances, those state authorities make findings/determinations. For which the EEOC reviews/approves. Upon EEOC approval, litigants can access the federal court system.

Please note: many things happen between these two timepoints (ie, between filing a FEPA-intercepted EEOC charge and getting access to the federal courts).

EXAMPLE A (John Doe)

John Doe works for Company XYZ. It dawns on him that his direct manager is sexually harassing him (by withholding promotions, raises, etc.). So, he files a complaint with the EEOC.

Immediately, though, the EEOC lets the Florida Commission on Human Relations investigate his complaint. This state agency, of course, is a FEPA; as stipulated by its Workshare Agreement with the EEOC.

After almost two years, the FCHR closes John Doe's file. At which point, he requests a substantial weight review (with the EEOC). The Federal Agency (ie, the EEOC) issues him a Right-to-Sue letter, and he takes his case to federal court. Where a jury of his peers ends up awarding him damages.

EXAMPLE B (Jane Doe)

Jane Doe sues Company ABC (in state court) for denying her access to its restaurant. The Court, however, dismisses her cause of action, because she neither:

(a) filed a discrimination complaint with the EEOC beforehand; nor
(b) filed a discrimination complaint with a FEPA (eg, the FCHR) beforehand.
Such a filing is a condition precedent for litigating a discrimination lawsuit.


Note on State Agencies

The EEOC has many state agency equivalents (eg, the FCHR).

Some of which have ulterior motives (ie, subverting Title VII's purpose).

Some of which, unfortunately, have repugnant methods (eg, Bribery). So, please beware of the state agencies (ie, the "FEPAs") that purport to support the EEOC's goals.

...POINTS & THINGS...

Congratulations! You're now booked up on FEPA's meaning!

Please get the justice you deserve.

Sincerely,
