An EEOC charge response for a Florida employer starts with one fact: the agency notice sets the date your answer is due. KEW Legal is a Florida business law firm with offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach. We help employers prepare that response and handle the employment questions that come up with it. This page explains what the notice means, what the firm does, and what to gather right away.<\/p>\n

What an EEOC or Florida Commission on Human Relations charge means for your business<\/h2>\n

A charge is a complaint filed by an employee, job applicant, or former worker who says the company treated them unlawfully. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Florida Commission on Human Relations both receive these complaints. The notice you receive names the agency, describes the charge, and states when your response is due.<\/p>\n

Fla. Stat. \u00a7 760.02<\/a> The statute refers to any person employing 15 or more employees for each working day in each of 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.<\/p>\n

Receiving a charge is not a finding against your company. It is a complaint, and the agency reviews the facts before it reaches any conclusion. Complaints and Commission records that identify the parties are confidential. They are not disclosed except to the parties or in a hearing or proceeding.<\/p>\n

This page is for owners, executives, and HR leaders at Florida employers in Miami-Dade, Broward County, and nearby areas who now need to answer a charge.<\/p>\n\n

If your company just received an agency notice with a response date, you don't have to build the answer alone. Reach out and we'll walk through it with you. Talk it through with our team — the first consultation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation.<\/p>
