Justice Management Division...Serving Justice - Securing Results

On June 24, 1999, Janice R. Lachance issued a new guide to help federal employees who believe they have been subjected to discrimination because of their sexual orientation. The guide which is available through the OPM website at http://www.opm.gov , identifies avenues for federal employees and applicants to seek help. The Department supports President Clinton's amendment to Executive Order 11478 prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, and has since July 1996 been offering employees and applicants a process in which to take their concerns. Specifically, complaints of sexual orientation discrimination can be brought through the Department's EEO offices. For information on the DOJ procedures, view EEO Process.
