EEO

The Federal Reserve Board promotes equal employment opportunity in every aspect of employment and a workplace free of discrimination for all persons, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or physical or mental disability. The Board is committed to hiring, developing, compensating, and promoting staff based solely on individual qualifications, abilities, and job performance.

The Board has established a formal EEO Complaint System for all forms of job discrimination, including retaliation and equal pay. It is important that employees be aware of the 45-day time limit (from date of the discriminatory action or event) for filing EEO complaints.

Employees should contact one of the Board's EEO Counselors to initiate an EEO complaint or to receive advice or information on any aspect of EEO. The Board ensures that no employee will be subjected to retaliation for participating in any administrative or judicial proceedings regarding job discrimination.
