Plain-English guide to the 9 stages of an EEOC discrimination/retaliation charge, from pre-filing through resolution. Call with no arguments for an overview of all stages with typical durations; call with a stage number (1-9) for a deep-dive on that stage: what to expect, how long it takes, the key tip, and do/don't guidance. Use this whenever someone asks what happens after filing with the EEOC, how long the process takes, what a position statement or rebuttal is, or what to do at the stage they are currently in. Covers private-sector and state/local government workers; federal employees follow a separate EEO process with a much shorter deadline (45 days to contact their agency's EEO counselor).
