After a charge is filed what does the Regional Office look for when it reviews the charge?
The Region reviews each charge for sufficiency. The charge will be deemed deficient and returned to the person who filed it if any of the following are present: (1) There is no signature; (2) the charging party or charged party is not identified; (3) there is not at least some basis for the charge stated; or (4) the matters in each block of the charge are not addressed in some way.If the review does not uncover any deficiencies, the charge is docketed and is given a number.
