About U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is a federal agency, and it enforces Federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Its oversight covers hiring, firing, promotions, harassment, training, wages, and benefits. Among the statutes it applies, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 reaches employment bias based on race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation and transgender status), and national origin. A separate statute, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, addresses pay differences based on sex for jobs requiring similar skill, effort, and responsibility.

Individuals can begin a charge through an online Public Portal, which also lets filers exchange case documents and messages about an existing charge. Its New York District Office is located at 33 Whitehall Street, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10004, with a listed phone number of 1-800-669-4000. Intake may be arranged as a telephone interview, a video interview with an EEOC representative, or an in-person interview at the office. A Long Island law firm's website describes this single district office as serving all of New York State and the New York metropolitan area, although that is a third-party description. The EEOC headquarters is at 131 M Street, NE, Washington, DC 20507.
