Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)

Read a random definition: cheat

A quick definition of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC):

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a government agency that makes sure everyone is treated fairly at work. They make sure that employers don't discriminate against people because of their race, gender, religion, or other things that make them who they are. If someone thinks they have been treated unfairly, they can tell the EEOC and they will investigate. If they find out that someone has been treated unfairly, they will try to make it right. The EEOC also makes sure that everyone has the same opportunities to get a job, get paid, and get promoted.

A more thorough explanation:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is a government agency that makes sure employers follow laws that prevent discrimination and harassment in the workplace. These laws cover things like hiring, firing, pay, training, promotions, and harassment. The EEOC also requires employers to report information about their employees, like their race and gender.

If an employee thinks they have been discriminated against, they can file a complaint with the EEOC. The EEOC will investigate the complaint and try to settle with the employer. If they can't settle, the EEOC may file a lawsuit on behalf of the employee.

For example, if a woman thinks she was not hired for a job because of her gender, she can file a complaint with the EEOC. The EEOC will investigate and try to settle with the employer. If they can't settle, the EEOC may file a lawsuit on behalf of the woman.

The EEOC can also expand protections for groups that were not previously covered. For example, in 2012, the EEOC decided that transgender people are protected under the law. This means that employers cannot discriminate against someone because they are transgender.
