According to data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Enforcement & Litigation Statistics, from 1997 to 2018, there were more than 1.8 million discrimination complaints filed with the EEOC. Of those coming approximately sixty-four percent were officially dismissed as having found no issue after investigation, and around eighteen percent were closed for administrative reasons.
There are many different reasons why an employee might file a complaint against their employer. One of the most common is discrimination. Discrimination can occur in the workplace when an employee is being treated unfairly because of a specific factor such as they are disability, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, or race.
As can be seen, a significant portion of your employees may be protected based on these types of factors. Anytime an employee has reason to believe that they have been discriminated against or treated wrongfully at work, they may file a complaint against specific colleagues, supervisors, and even the company itself.
