Ê®·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê

Any employee or applicant for employment who believes he/she has experienced unlawful discrimination may file a complaint with the Employee Relations Office or with an external agency. 

In order to resolve issues quickly and at the lowest level possible, employees should do the following:

1. Discuss the concern with his/her immediate supervisor. If the supervisor is the source of the concern, or the employee is uncomfortable discussing the concern with the supervisor, then the employee should;
2. Discuss the concern with the department or division director or supervisor or contact the Employee Relations Office;
3. If the department supervisor does not respond to the concern within five (5) working days, or it is determined upon consultation between the employee and the Employee Relations Office that circumstances prevent using steps (1) or (2), the employee may file a discrimination complaint with the Employee Relations Office. 

Employees may contact the Employee Relations Office at anytime during the process for general information and guidance.
