EEOC Position Statement

Drafts the employer's formal response to an EEOC charge of discrimination, shaping agency investigation findings while building a defensible record for potential litigation.

Prerequisites

4. Comparator evidence — records for similarly situated employees outside the protected class
5. Corroborating records — emails, meeting notes, witness statements
6. Business justification documents — RIF criteria, promotion requirements, selection processes

Quick Start

2. Map each allegation to the applicable claim framework (disparate treatment, harassment, retaliation)
3. Assemble chronological employment timeline with documentary support
4. Identify comparators and affirmative defenses
5. Draft per the output structure below
6. Verify all citations and confirm filing deadline (typically 30 days; extensions available)
