Employment law encompasses remedies that address employee grievances and discrimination that arise in the work environment. The basis of this system is the United States Constitution, which provides two sources of laws and regulations. These two sources are the individual state constitutions and the national constitution. In this system of federalism, there is also the Bill of Rights, which is the origin of the majority of labor law. The best-known document is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC Sec. 2000e et.seq.). The judicial, executive, and legislative branches of the United States government create and enforce the rules and regulations promulgated by the Constitution. Individuals and groups seek to end discrimination through resources from various agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and state agencies, Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPA ). The EEOC is a government agency charged with investigating complaints of discrimination filed by private sector employees. This document will explain the processes for filing a discrimination complaint and the requirements of the civil litigation process for seeking relief through these channels. Although the civil litigation process begins at the state level, efforts can extend all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Additionally, of the complaints that reach the Supreme Court, judges refer some of those cases to lower courts. In these cases, some require further deliberations or are tried in lower courts.
