 Problems Persist In The EEO

 Complaint Processing System

 For Federal Employees




 The system for processing Government
 employees' discrimination complaints con-
 tinues to be plagued with problems, most
 notably the lengthy period it takes to process
 complaints. Complaints closed by decision
 on the merits in fiscal year 1981 were in
 process an average of 611 days--more than
 twice as long as in fiscal year 1974--with
 some agencies averaging over 1,000 days.
 Based on data provided by the Equal Employ-
 ment Opportunity Commission, the cost to
 process complaints closed in 1981 could
 have been as much as $456 million.

 Proposals to change the system, made in
 late 1981 by a multiagencytask force and in
draft regulations prepared by staff of the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commis-
sion, are among options currently under
consideration by the Commission Chairman.
