What are the two types of EO Complaints?

• A. Formal and Informal
• B. Written and Verbal
• C. Internal and External
• D. Private and Public

Answer: (A)

Two types of EO complaints are commonly recognized: formal and informal. An informal approach is used for quick, less formal attempts to resolve concerns, often starting with a conversation with a supervisor or an EO counselor to address the issue without triggering a formal process. If the issue isn’t resolved at that level or if it involves protected characteristics and requires a documented investigation, a formal complaint is filed. That triggers a formal process with written documentation, timelines, and an official investigation and potential remedies. The other options describe modes of submitting a complaint (written or verbal), where it occurs (internal or external), or privacy aspects, but they don’t reflect the standard way EO concerns are categorized.
