No FEAR Act

Equal Employment Opportunity

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) is the right of all persons to work and advance on the basis of merit, ability, and potential. Federal fair employment laws prohibit discrimination and require the Government to provide equal employment opportunity without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disabling condition, or reprisal.
