I'm Bob Morton with North Raleigh Law Group, I'm going talk a little bit about how an employer should respond to a discrimination charge by an employee.

An employee has to go through the administrative process before a suit can be filed, and that goes through the EEOC and filing a charge of discrimination. The employer gets a copy of the charge and has to respond to it. Take the response very seriously. Do a full investigation, keep the information confidential and respond by factual non hostile way in a businesslike fashion.

It's interesting to note that the second most common reason for a discrimination charge is based on race discrimination. Race discrimination is followed by sex discrimination, then national origin, then disability. What's the number one charge? Retaliation. The employer terminates or takes other action based on the charge of discrimination.

The lesson here is, don't do anything to the employee unless you have a good reason for it in response of accusing someone of discrimination.
