How Does The CRD Resolve Discrimination Charges?
• If the evidence obtained in an investigation does not establish that discrimination occurred, this will be explained to the charging party. A notice of determination is issued, by the Director of the CRD, to both charging party and the employer closing the case and giving the charging party 90 days, after receiving the notice of a “right to sue” from the EEOC, in which to file a lawsuit on his or her own behalf. • If the evidence establishes that discrimination has occurred, the employer and the charging party will be informed of this in a notice of determination explaining the findings of fact. The CRD will then attempt conciliation with the employer to develop a remedy for the discrimination. • If the case is successfully conciliated the charging party may not go to court, unless the conciliation agreement is not honored. • If the CRD is unable to successfully conciliate the case, the case will be forwarded to the Charlotte District Office of the EEOC for review and further process
