Pregnant Workers Protections Added
If you are a current or former DOT employee or a job applicant, DOT revised its "Individual Complaint of Employment Discrimination" form to include provisions related to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act so you can file formal EEO complaints invoking those protections.
No Filing Fee; Electronic Submission
You can obtain and submit the DOT complaint form at no cost; DOT estimates 244 respondents per year and states the estimated cost burden is zero because the form is free and submitted electronically.
Estimated Time: About One Hour Per Complaint
DOT estimates 244 respondents per year and an estimated total burden of 244 hours per year for the form (filed once), which implies about one hour of time per respondent to complete the complaint form.
