Employee Information
Agency Contacts



Government agencies have staff who will answer questions from the public about employment discrimination law. These agencies are a good source of information about the laws that they administer. Their staff are busy, so you may have to continue to call until you reach someone who will answer your questions. They usually have an officer of the day, or attorney of the day, who responds to telephone inquiries.

Most of the government fair employment practices agencies now have good websites that contain contact and other useful information. These websites are accessible through the links on other pages of this website.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission can be contacted by calling 1-800-669-4000, which will connect you to the EEOC office nearest to you.
