At Spectrum EEO, we are nationally recognized experts in Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws and regulations. As trusted thought leaders in the field, we provide organizations and investigators with the knowledge, tools, and federally compliant training needed to conduct impartial and effective investigations. Our experience spans decades of applying federal statutes, EEOC regulations, and USPS standards to real-world cases—ensuring that every investigation meets the highest professional and legal standards.

Foundational Civil Rights Laws

The framework of EEO investigations is built on cornerstone legislation, and Spectrum EEO’s training makes these laws practical and actionable.

• Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 – Prohibits workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

• Civil Rights Act of 1991 – Strengthens remedies and protections.

• Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – Guarantees nondiscrimination for individuals with disabilities in federal employment.

• Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA) – Expands protections for employees with disabilities.

• Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) – Protects workers over 40 from age-related bias.

• Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act – Ensures fairness in benefit programs and severance agreements.

• Pregnancy Discrimination Act – Prohibits adverse treatment based on pregnancy or related conditions.

• Equal Pay Act of 1963 – Mandates equal pay for equal work.

• Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) – Prevents discrimination based on genetic data.

Through our investigator certification programs and compliance courses, Spectrum EEO ensures that professionals not only understand these laws, but also know how to apply them in practice.

Federal Regulations and Directives

Navigating regulations is complex, but Spectrum EEO has led the way in simplifying compliance for investigators and agencies. Key authorities include:

• 29 CFR Part 1614 – Governs the federal EEO complaint process.

• 5 CFR Part 1200 – Defines Merit Systems Protection Board procedures.

• EEOC Management Directive 110 (MD-110) – Establishes detailed rules for complaint processing and Reports of Investigation (ROI).

• Executive Order 11478 – Requires equal opportunity throughout the federal government.

Our team delivers expert guidance and federally compliant EEO training that prepares investigators to apply these directives confidently in every case.

Reports of Investigation (ROI): Setting the Standard

As thought leaders in investigative best practices, Spectrum EEO emphasizes the critical role of the Report of Investigation. Each ROI must provide a complete, impartial, and legally sufficient record. Investigators trained by Spectrum EEO master the process of producing:

• Draft Reports of Investigation that meet the 45-day submission requirement.

• Final Reports of Investigation that withstand legal scrutiny by independent fact-finders.

Our expertise ensures that affidavits, exhibits, investigative summaries, and documentary evidence are compiled to the highest standards of quality and timeliness.

Continuous Training and Compliance

Staying compliant requires continuous education. Spectrum EEO equips investigators with the federally required eight hours of continuing EEO training each year, in alignment with 29 CFR Part 1614. Our training portfolio includes:

• Comprehensive investigator certification programs aligned with USPS and EEOC standards.

• Guidance on developing investigative plans, conducting effective interviews, and securing reliable affidavits.

• Specialized instruction on harassment allegation investigations, compensatory damages claims, and supplemental investigations.

We ensure every investigator has the knowledge to meet performance standards, timeliness requirements, and federal compliance benchmarks.
