Formal Complaint Procedure

University of Missouri Extension's Affirmative Action/Equal Employment Opportunity Policy provides for prompt processing of complaints regarding employment status or condition through informal and formal procedures. Individuals using this process are known as complainants. A complaint is defined as:

1. An employee's, former employee's or applicant for employment's expressed dissatisfaction with, and request for redress from, discrimination on the part of management, which has effected the individual personally

2. General discriminatory practices filed by an organization.

A formal complaint may be filed if:

1. A complainant who registers an informal complaint of discrimination does not find the results satisfactory, or

2. If an individuals does not wish to pursue an informal complaint.

Protection of Complainants, Employees,
Witnesses & Representatives
from Interference, Intimidation & Reprisal

All employees are to be free from any or all restraint, interference, coercion or reprisal on the part of the their associates or supervisors in making a complaint or appeal, in appearing as witnesses or in seeking information in accordance with these procedures. These principles apply with equal force after a complaint has been adjudicated. Should these principles be violated, the complainant may bring the facts to the attention of the AA/EEO officer so that appropriate action may be taken.
