01What Is the EEOC Compliance Checklist?

The EEOC Compliance Checklist helps you review whether your employment practices align with equal opportunity obligations enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It spans hiring, promotion, pay, harassment prevention, accommodation, and complaint handling. The focus is on preventing discrimination based on protected characteristics and ensuring you have the policies, training, and documentation to back up fair treatment across the employee lifecycle.

02Why Use an EEOC Compliance Checklist

Discrimination claims are costly and damaging, and many stem from inconsistent practices rather than intent. This checklist helps you spot risks like biased job descriptions, undocumented decisions, or gaps in your complaint process. It also confirms required postings, training, and any reporting obligations are in place, giving you defensible evidence that your organization actively works to provide equal opportunity.

03How to Use This EEOC Compliance Checklist

Review it annually and when you update major HR processes. Examine job postings and interview practices for consistency, confirm harassment and accommodation procedures are documented and known, and verify complaints are handled promptly and fairly. Check whether size-based reporting requirements apply to you. Keep records of decisions and training, and route any potential violations to HR leadership or counsel for guidance.
