Original Manual

New Manual

The Commission has begun a new Manual in a different format. Sections will be added as they are issued.

Section 2: Threshold Issues Date issued 5/12/00
In July, 2005, EEOC issued a revision of the subsection of the "Threshold Issues" Compliance Manual section concerning time limitations for filing charges, which was originally issued in 2000. The revision conforms the Manual's discussion of the continuing violation doctrine to the Supreme Court's decision in National Railroad Passenger Corp. v. Morgan, 536 U.S. 101 (2002). This revision replaces § 2-IV.C, “When Did the Alleged Violation Take Place?” The new section § 2-IV.C is captioned: “When Can a Discriminatory Act Be Challenged?”
