Helping Clients Appealing For EEO Discrimination Cases

After filing a discrimination complaint with your federal agency and the EEOC, you have the right to appeal the final agency decision or EEOC judge ruling to the EEOC's Office of Federal Operations (OFO) if you do not agree with the decisions. Contact The Law Firm of John P. Mahoney, Esq., Attorneys at Law, PLLC, and have one of our EEOC appeals attorneys review your case and advise you on how to proceed. The OFO appeals process can be difficult to navigate alone, so it is important to have an experienced OFO appeals lawyer guide you.

Understanding Your Rights in the EEO Process

Understanding your rights as an employee is crucial to effectively advocating for yourself. Our experienced attorneys are dedicated to educating clients about their rights and the protections afforded to them under federal law.

Here are some key rights you should be aware of:

  • Right to File a Complaint: You have the right to file a complaint if you believe you have been discriminated against based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information.
  • Right to Representation: You have the right to seek legal representation during the EEO process, ensuring that your case is presented effectively.
  • Right to Confidentiality: Your complaint and any related investigations should be handled with confidentiality to protect your privacy.
  • Protection Against Retaliation: You are protected from any form of retaliation for filing a complaint or participating in an investigation.
  • Right to Appeal: If you disagree with the outcome of your case, you have the right to appeal the decision, and our team can guide you through this process.

How Do You File an OFO Appeal?

EEOC's Office of Federal Operations allows you to appeal an agency's final order (including an order dismissing your complaint). You have 30 days after receiving the final order to file your appeal. EEOC Form 573, Notice of Appeal/Petition, should be used to file an appeal.

To file an appeal:

  • Typically, within 30 days of receiving a final agency decision or dismissal, you must file a written appeal to the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations.
  • Thereafter, you have 30 days to file a written statement in support of your appeal.
  • The EEOC will then review your entire case file, including the agency’s report of investigation, the EEOC judge’s decision, and any transcripts of the hearing.
  • After OFO’s review, a written decision will be issued either in support of your appeal or not.
  • If you do not agree with the OFO’s decision of your appeal, you have the option of asking EEOC for a reconsideration.
  • If your complaint is not resolved, you can file a civil court suit against your employer.

The appeals process can be long, stressful, and even intimidating. You may feel pressure from your employer or even face retaliation due to your decision to come forward about your discrimination. Our law firm can advocate for your interests and protect you from further adverse actions, including employer retaliation. We're here for you every step of the way.
