I assume the employer in this instance is not a federal government agency. The role of the EEOC for federal employees is different than for other employees. When you file a charge of discrimination the EEOC staff will first screen it to determine that your complaint states a claim that falls within its jurisdiction. Assuming it does, then it will typically ask you for any more information that it needs and ask the employer to respond to the charges. It will then try to get the parties to mediate the dispute. If mediation is unsuccessful there is a very small chance that the EEOC will decide to take the case itself and litigate it for the employee. (That decision could be made before mediation, too, for that matter.) But in the vast majority of claims that are not resolved in mediation the result is that the EEOC simply issues what is known as a "right to sue" letter to the employee and then closes the case. That letter then allows the employee to file suit in court on the federal claim of illegal discrimination. Note that a right to sue letter does NOT mean the EEOC thinks that the employee has a good claim; that right to sue letter is given out any time the EEOC elects not to litigate the case itself regardless of how strong or weak the discrimination claim is.

mcdo, you have a very interesting posting history on this forum. Does your current question have anything at all to do with you or someone you know, or are you just searching for general information?
