Most claims of discrimination or harassment are filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the reason being is that is does not require the employee or former employee to pay anything to do so. The EEOC acts as the Complainants legal representative. An employer’s goal should be to settle these matters at this level as the cost to litigate such matters can be most cost prohibitive. Keeping in mind however, that even if a Complainant’s case is dismissed by the EEOC, Complainant’s still has the option to perfect claims of this nature through the Courts but at such time it is more likely for such person to incur legal expenses. However, through experience most claims are settled on the EEOC level.

Consultech can respond to these claims and present the best responses to counter such claims with an aim towards dismissal. Consultech will also represent an employer before a Mediator if it is determined that although not done maliciously. the employer or another employee did not cross the line. A determination of fault is usually obtained from Consultech conducting an investigation of circumstances surrounding such claims. This investigation involves reviewing of documents and files along with face to face interview. Usually following this investigation will determine if there is any merit to the claim.
