Abstract:Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is the law. It is the policy of the Government of the United States to provide equal opportunity in Federal employment and to prohibit discrimination in employment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, retaliation, or sexual orientation. This Handbook is designed to provide Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) management officials 1 an overview of the EEO complaint process. The Handbook provides information on the informal process which includes EEO counseling and an offer of mediation; and the formal process which may include an investigation, a hearing before an Administrative Judge, or the issuance of a Final Agency Decision. The Handbook is intended to be an easy reference guide for understanding the EEO complaint process and management officials' responsibilities throughout the process. The FHWA promotes EEO for all individuals and will not tolerate any form of discrimination in the workplace. The FHWA takes seriously its responsibility to prevent discrimination by removing any barriers that may limit opportunities. Every effort must be made by management officials to ensure that this commitment is reflected in all of the actions and policies of the organization. However, if employees of the fHWA or applicants for employment with the FHWA believe that this commitment is not being met, they may seek guidance and assistance through the EEO complaint process. The FHWA is committed to maintaining an employment environment that is absolutely FREE of discrimination. As an employee, applicant for employment with the FHWA, or former employee, individuals have the right to avail themselves of the EEO complaint process without fear of retaliation. All the information contained in this Handbook is derived from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions' (EEOC) Management Directive-110 and the EEOC's regulation at 29 Code of federal Regulation (CFR) Part 1614.
