Federal EEO

Federal EEO or Equal Employment Opportunity claims result when a federal employee is terminated. Additionally, it occurs if you are the victim of sexual harassment or other forms of discrimination. The federal government established a different system for handling these types of claims. Additinally, there are very strict time limits involved in filling a claim with the federal government. Timing of the filing is extremely important.

Options

What options do you have if you have been terminated. Fling for unemployment immediately is your first step. Gathering as many documents as possible which may help your case comes next. Also, make a list of potential witnesses. Thereafter, call an experienced Federal EEO attorney to pursue your claim. Becuase these claims are unique, only an experienced discrimination attorney can provide the most help.

Checklist

Here is a basic checklist put together by Chicago Sexual Harassment Attorney Peter LaSorsa.

First, write a journal of what happened to you, including dates, documents involved and witnesses.

Secondly, gather all of the relevant documents. If they are not in your possession, provide guidance on where they are located.

Thirdly, write down the names, email and phone numbers of anyone you think is a potential witness. Also, provide what you believe they witnesses.

Lastly, don’t make any statements or social media posts. The old World War II saying “Loose Lips Sink Ships” applies here. The only thing statements and social media posts can do is hurt your potential case.
