The EEOC ADR Program:
Your Partner in Workplace Solutions!
We invite you to participate in the EEOC’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Program to efficiently resolve EEOC Complaint {EEOC Number}. ADR is a no-cost, voluntary, and confidential opportunity for both parties to work with a neutral ADR facilitator to discuss and try to resolve your EEOC Complaint. ADR includes a variety of methods such as settlement conferences conducted by Administrative Judges and mediations with EEOC staff members or outside neutrals.Here are five reasons you should participate:
It’s fair and confidential – The ADR facilitator is a neutral facilitator who helps the parties find a solution to the problem. All discussions with the ADR facilitator are strictly confidential and are NOT part of the EEOC’s adjudication of a case.
It provides a FINAL resolution to a complaint – ADR allows Complainants to address all of their filed claims.
You CONTROL the outcome – The ADR facilitator will work with you to identify the best options that exist to resolve the complaint at this early stage. The parties will determine what options are workable and the Agency is free to accept or reject any options.
It’s FREE and EFFECTIVE – There is no cost to participate in ADR. EEOC resolves more than 50% of the complaints in the ADR program. If ADR doesn’t resolve the complaint, then an EEOC Administrative Judge will be assigned and will proceed with the case.
We look forward to working with you in bringing this matter to an amicable resolution and demonstrating why so many Complainants consider the EEOC ADR Program their partner in workplace solutions
