Treasury employees, former employees,
and applicants for employment may contact the Department’s EEO
Offices if they believe they have been subjected to discrimination
based on race, color, sex (includes sexual harassment, sexual
orientation and gender identity), national origin, religion,
disability, age (40 or over), parental status, protected genetic
information, or retaliation. A Treasury staff member responsible
for obtaining information regarding the claim(s) of discrimination
will record on a Report of Counseling (Intake) Form the aggrieved
party’s (“the aggrieved”) personal information, i.e., name,
address, telephone numbers, etc., as well as the bases and issues
raised by the aggrieved. Thereafter, an EEO Counselor will be
assigned, who will review the information on the Report of
Counseling (Intake) Form and contact the aggrieved to schedule an
initial interview. This interview may include, but is not limited
to: verifying the information on the Intake Form, clearly defining
the scope of the issues, reviewing the rights and responsibilities
of the aggrieved and the agency during the EEO complaint process
including the right to representation and anonymity, the applicable
time frames, the option to extend the counseling process, the right
to choose between Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and EEO
Counseling, and the overall stages of the complaint
process.
