Complainant contacts EEO counselor within 45 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory event, the effective date of an alleged discriminatory personnel action, or the date that the aggrieved person knew or reasonably should have known of the discriminatory event or personnel action.
EEO counselor has 30 calendar days to counsel the complaint and to attempt to resolve the complaint following complainant's initial contact with an EEO counselor.
If the complaint is not resolved during counseling, the aggrieved is issued a notice of right to file a formal EEO complaint. Formal complaint must be filed within 15 calendar days of receipt of notice of right to file letter. The agency has calendar days to investigate a formal complaint. Accepted complaints are investigated by the Department of Defense Office of Complaints Investigation. The investigator produces a report of investigation which is provided to complainant.
Within 30 calendar days of receipt of the report of investigation, the complainant may ask for a hearing by an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEOC Administrative Judge or a decision from the Department of the Army based on the record without a hearing. If a hearing is not requested, the case file is forwarded to DA for final agency decision on the record.
Alternative Dispute Resolution is a set of processes or strategies for resolving workplace related issues or controversies informally. ADR aims to foster communication, address underlying issues and improve the workplace climate. The Army's preferred method of ADR is mediation. The mediation process focuses on finding a workable solution to the dispute rather than focusing on the cause s or who is at fault. A mediator serves as an impartial party and does not render a decision on the merits of the dispute.
A mediator's role is to facilitate an open exchange of information between the parties and to help them find common ground to resolve the dispute. If the aggrieved employee and management voluntarily agree to mediate the complaint, the EEO office will coordinate for a neutral mediator and arrange for the mediation session. Participants in the mediation session will include the neutral mediator, the aggrieved and the aggrieved's representative, is he or she has one , and a management official who has the authority to settle the complaint.
Any employee, former employee, applicant for employment, and certain contractors, who believes they have been subjected to prohibit employment discrimination may file an EEO complaint.

The bases are race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age over 40 , reprisal for participating in the EEO complaint process, or disability mental or physical.

The APG EEO Office will set that standard by not just processing Title VII discrimination complaints, but also by analyzing and identifying the root causes of workplace conflicts, tracking their trends, briefing leaders on those trends, and providing a detailed action plan that those leaders can follow to achieve a better and more equitable work environment for all employees, not just those in protected classes.
Furthermore, the APG EEO Office will provide, upon request and annually, the training, tools and oversight necessary to facilitate that success. The purpose is to help Soldiers become better educated and earn quicker Army promotions by assisting in not only their Army educations but also their college educations as well.
