U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Detroit Field Office

Handles federal employment discrimination inquiries and charges for workers and applicants in Michigan.

Run Point.

What they do

The EEOC enforces the federal laws against workplace discrimination and retaliation. Most federal employment claims have to start here: you file a charge with the EEOC before you can file most of them in court.

How to start

The EEOC Public Portal is the usual entry point. You submit an inquiry, then have an interview, and the charge itself is drafted from that.

What to know first

The federal filing window is strict and it starts running from the discriminatory act, not from the day you decided to do something about it. Michigan also has its own state process through MDCR, and the two have different deadlines. Missing one does not always mean missing both, which is a reason to ask early rather than late.

Federal filing deadlines apply and are strict. The EEOC investigates charges; it does not represent individual workers.
