Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPA)

Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPA) are state or local organizations that enforce anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. They investigate complaints from individuals who believe they have been unfairly treated due to factors like race, gender, age, or disability. FEPA helps ensure fair treatment in hiring, promotions, and employment practices. If a complaint is validated, these agencies can mediate disputes, facilitate settlements, or take legal action against employers who violate the law. They play a crucial role in promoting equality and protecting workers' rights in various jurisdictions across the United States.
