Federal agencies make common errors in discrimination claim filings: EEOC

A total of 81% of discrimination cases dismissed by federal agencies and subsequently overturned on appeal to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission involve either failure to state a claim or failure to comply with regulatory time limitations, the agency said Monday in a report. Of the appellate decisions issued each year by the EEOC on federal agency dismissals, about one-third are reversed, with the complaints being remanded by the EEOC's Office of Federal Operations to the agencies for investigation, according to the report, "Preserving Access to the Legal System: Common Errors by Federal Agencies in Dismissing Complaints of Discrimination on Procedural Grounds."
