Responding to Charges of Employment Discrimination
EEAC's Responding to Charges of Employment Discrimination is a two-day seminar designed especially for HR personnel and in-house lawyers involved in investigating and responding to discrimination charges filed with the EEOC or an equivalent state agency. Using lectures, discussion problems, and role-playing exercises, participants learn proven techniques and strategies for dealing with discrimination charges, from the moment a charge is filed through to its final resolution.
Topics covered include:
•
Current EEOC charge handling and conciliation procedures;
•
Initial steps to take when notified that a charge has been filed;
•
Investigating the charge internally, including witness interviews;
•
Developing the response and drafting the position statement;
•
Making the "fight or settle" decision;
•
Preparing for an on-site investigation;
•
Settlement and conciliation techniques;
•
Predetermination settlements; and
•
Mediation as an option.
