If you believe that you have experienced discrimination, you may contact the CareerSource Palm Beach County Equal Opportunity Officer/Director of Human Resources to obtain a form in filing your complaint. If you file your complaint with the CareerSource Palm Beach County Equal Opportunity Officer and/or the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), you must wait either until the OCR issues a written Notice of Final Action or until 90 days have passed (whichever is sooner) before filing with the Civil Rights Center (CRC). (See the addresses above.)

If the OCR does not give you a written Notice of Final Action within 90 days of the day on which you filed your complaint, you do not have to wait for the OCR to issue that Notice before filing a complaint with the CRC. However, you must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the 90‑day deadline (in other words, within 120 days after the day on which you filed your complaint with the OCR).

If the OCR gives you a written Notice of Final Action on your complaint, but you are dissatisfied with the decision or resolution, you may file a complaint with the CRC. You must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the date on which you received the Notice of Final Action.
