SECTION 23-2 | FILING OF CHARGES OF DISCRIMINATION

A. In order to facilitate the assertion of employment rights, the EEOC and the FEPA each designate the other as its agent for the purpose of receiving and drafting charges, including those that are not jurisdictional with the agency that initially receives the charges. The EEOC's receipt of charges on the FEPA's behalf will automatically initiate the proceedings of both the EEOC and the FEPA for the purposes of Section 706(c) and (e)(1) of Title VII. This delegation of authority to receive charges does not include the right of one agency to determine the jurisdiction of the other agency over a charge. Charges can be transferred from one agency to another in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

B. The FEPA shall take all charges alleging a violation of Title VII, ADEA, EPA, GINA or the ADA where both the FEPA and the EEOC have mutual jurisdiction, or where the EEOC only has jurisdiction, so long as the allegations meet the minimum requirements of the applicable statute, and for charges specified in Section III. A. 1. below, refer them to the EEOC for initial processing.

C. Each agency will inform individuals of their rights to file charges directly with the other agency and or assist any person alleging employment discrimination to draft a charge in a manner that will satisfy the requirements of both agencies to the extent of their common jurisdiction. Normally, once an agency begins an investigation, it resolves the charge. Charges may be transferred between the EEOC and the FEPA in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each agency will advise charging parties that charges will be resolved by the agency taking thecharge except when the agency taking the charge lacks jurisdiction or when the charge is to be transferred in accordance with Section III of this Agreement.

D. For charges that are to be dual filed, each agency will use the EEOC Charge Form 5 (or alternatively, an employment discrimination charge form which within statutory limitations, is acceptable in form and content to the EEOC and the FEPA) to draft charges. When a charge is taken based on disability, the nature of the disability shall not be disclosed on the face of the charge. (If applicable state statute or local ordinance requires such disclosures, this sentence may be deleted.)

(More specific instructions depending on District Office/FEPA procedures should also be included here.)

E. Within ten calendar days of receipt, each agency agrees that it will notify both the Charging Party and the Respondent of the dual-filed nature of each such charge it receives for initial processing and explain the rights and responsibilities of the parties under the applicable Federal, State, or Local statutes.
