An Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) discrimination complaint for federal employees is a formal grievance filed by a federal government employee who believes they have been subjected to unlawful discrimination in the workplace.
This discrimination can be based on factors such as race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. The complaint initiates a process through which the employee seeks resolution, potentially leading to investigations and remedies to address the alleged discrimination. The federal government has established procedures and agencies to address these complaints and ensure equal employment opportunities for its employees.
