State Fair Employment Practices Agencies

State Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) are government organizations that enforce laws prohibiting workplace discrimination based on race, gender, age, disability, and other factors. They investigate complaints from employees who believe they have been treated unfairly or unlawfully by their employers. FEPAs work to resolve disputes, promote fair treatment in the workplace, and sometimes collaborate with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for broader enforcement. Their goal is to ensure that all individuals have equal rights and opportunities in employment settings.
