First, you will be notified of the allegations made against you. Importantly, you should not confront the person filing the complaint or other people who may have knowledge of the complaint as doing so may be considered retaliation, which would violate the EEO Policy.
Next, you will be expected to attend an investigative interview during which you will be asked questions about the alleged conduct and you will have an opportunity to present your perspectives on the allegations. If your position is represented by a union, you may have a union representative accompany you to the interview; however, the representative may not answer questions for you nor otherwise disrupt the interview.
After the investigation completes, the decision maker will notify you of the outcome of the investigation, including whether it is found that you engaged in the alleged conduct and violated the EEO Policy. If you are found to have violated the EEO Policy, you may be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge from employment.
