Exactly what is the charge and is your company covered by the relevant statutes? (For example, Title VII and the American with Disabilities Act generally apply only to employers with 15 or more employees; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act applies to employers with 20 or more employees; but the Equal Pay Act applies to virtually all employers with one or more employee.) Did the employee file his or her charge on time, and was it processed in a timely manner by the EEOC? LOP8
