If you believe that you have been discriminated against in an employment matter, or in the workplace, because of your race, color, sex (including harassment), age (if 40 or above), national origin, religion, disability ( physical and/or mental); or, if you believe you have faced reprisal for previous equal employment opportunity (EEO) related activity (e.g., filing an EEO complaint; participating as a witness, representative, or any other activity in connection with an EEO complaint; or for opposing what you believe to be unlawful employment discrimination), you must contact an EEO Counselor within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory action.
Complaints of discrimination based on political beliefs, parental status, and/or sexual orientation may also be brought to the attention of an EEO Counselor. However these bases are not covered by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. They are administratively processed by the Commission. Final FEC decisions in these cases are not appealable to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other non-FEC agency.
Employees or applicants for employment with the FEC who wish to file an employment discrimination complaint based on any of the 11 prohibitive factors listed above must first contact an EEO Counselor. To obtain counseling, contact an EEO Counselor or the EEO Director in person in Room 507A, by phone at (202) 694-1229 or by e-mail to eeo@fec.gov. the FEC is an equal opportunity employer.
