What If The Eeoc Sent A Notice Of Charge That Contains Very Little Information About A Claim Of Discrimination?

The EEOC generally sends notice to employers that a charge has been filed within 10 days after the charge is filed. The EEOC may occasionally give you notice of a charge without actually including a copy of the charge. When this happens, ordinarily you need do nothing more until the EEOC contacts you at a later date. However, if you want more information, call the EEOC office that sent the notice and speak with the staff person assigned to handle the charge to obtain more information.
