Employment law includes remedies that address employee complaints and discrimination that occur in the work environment. The foundation of this system is the United States Constitution, which provides two sources of laws and regulations. These two sources are the constitutions of individual states and the national constitution. Under this system of federalism is also the Bill of Rights, which provides the origins of most labor law. The best-known document is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC Sec. 2000e et.seq.). The judicial, executive, and legislative branches of the United States government create and enforce rules and regulations promulgated by the Constitution. Individuals and groups seek to end discrimination through the resources of various agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and state agencies, Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPA). The EEOC is a government agency that is responsible for investigating complaints of discrimination made by private sector employees. This document will explain the procedures for filing a discrimination complaint and the civil litigation process requirements for seeking relief through these channels. While the civil litigation process begins at the state level, efforts can extend all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Additionally, among complaints that reach the Supreme Court, judges send some of these cases back to lower courts. With these cases, some require further deliberations or are tried by lower courts.
