What Happens If A Charge Is Dismissed By The Eeoc?
If the EEOC dismisses a charge, it will not proceed further with an investigation. The charging party is notified of his or her right to file a lawsuit in court. A charging party may file a lawsuit within 90 days of receiving his or her dismissal notice. The laws also permit a charging party to choose to go to court instead of waiting for the EEOC to complete its investigation. Therefore, in some cases, the EEOC may issue a notice of right to sue upon the charging party`s request.
