SUBMITTING A PRE-COMPLAINT INQUIRY OR COMPLAINT

Pre-Complaint Inquiry

When you submit a pre-complaint inquiry, OFCCP can help you determine if we are the right federal agency to handle the matter. OFCCP will not notify the employer you submitted a pre-complaint inquiry. Submitting a pre-complaint inquiry form to OFCCP does not constitute filing a complaint.

The pre-complaint inquiry form can be submitted:

  • Online (preferred method); or
  • You may email a PDF version of the form to: OFCCPComplaintForms@dol.gov; or
  • You may mail the PDF form to: 
        U.S. Department of Labor 
        Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
        200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N4618
        Washington D.C., 20210

Complaint

You may also choose to bypass the pre-complaint inquiry and instead file a complaint of employment discrimination with OFCCP. If you file a complaint of employment discrimination, OFCCP will notify the employer of the complaint.

The complaint form can be submitted:

  • Online (preferred); or
  • You may email a PDF version of the form to: OFCCPComplaintForms@dol.gov; or
  • You may mail the PDF form to: 
        U.S. Department of Labor 
         Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs
         200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N4618
         Washington D.C., 20210

IMPORTANT DEADLINES

Submitting a pre-complaint inquiry form to OFCCP does not extend the period for filing a complaint.

Complaints must be filed with OFCCP within 300 calendar days of the alleged action(s) taken by the employer.

If you have 60 calendar days or fewer in which to file a timely complaint, bypass the pre-complaint inquiry process and file a complaint.
