Anastasia had a job interview at a local startup she has admired since it opened. However, the human resource representative made her uncomfortable when he asked her marital status and made a few sexually suggestive comments. What federal agency provides the regulations violated by the human resource representative at this startup?
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) provides regulations that prohibit discrimination based on characteristics such as marital status and sexual harassment in the workplace. The representative's inappropriate questions and comments would likely be considered violations of EEOC regulations. Anastasia could file a complaint with the EEOC if she feels she was discriminated against during her job interview.
