EEOC
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the federal agency responsible for handling complaints of workplace discrimination. The organization was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to administer and enforce its prohibitions against discrimination in the workplace.
The Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination are:
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older
Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments
Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government
The Civil Rights Act of 1991, which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces all of these laws. EEOC also provides oversight and coordination of all federal equal employment opportunity regulations, practices, and policies.
