Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Fair Employment Practices Agency is a state agency that enforces state employment discrimination laws. In some states, the agency may also investigate claims of discrimination based on federal laws such as Title VII. Therefore, a complainant may file their discrimination claim with the state agency instead of the EEOC. However, if the state agency does not have jurisdiction over the claim or if the complainant wants to pursue federal remedies, they may still need to file a complaint with the EEOC.
