Eeoc Complaint Response Timeline

Summary

The EEOC typically notifies the employer within 10 days of filing a complaint. The investigation can take 180 days or more, and the entire process may last several months to over a year. If no decision is made after 180 days, you can request a Right to Sue letter. The likelihood of the EEOC taking your case depends on factors like evidence strength and violation nature. Sexual harassment, hostile work environment, and retaliation are serious allegations that may increase the chances of a thorough investigation. Consider gathering evidence and consulting an attorney for guidance.
