Resources for Federal Employees

  • You can submit a complaint your agency’s Office of the Inspector General. You can find DOJ’s here. The Government Accountability Project also has helpful resources.

  • A list of current Department of Justice employee organizations can be found on the Department’s website. DOJ GEN supports our fellow organizations and is proud to partner with the Department of Justice Association of Black Attorneys (DOJABA), the Department of Justice Asian Pacific American Employees Association (DOJ Pan Asia), the Department of Justice Association of Hispanic Employees for Advancement and Development (DOJ AHEAD), the DOJ Native American Association, and DOJ Pride.

  • Complaints relating to sexual harassment are handled by the Justice Management Division. A DOJ employee or an applicant for federal employment may institute an equal employment opportunity (EEO) complaint if that employee or applicant believes they have been discriminated against based on one or more prohibited factors, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age (over 40) , disability (physical or mental), protected genetic information, parental status, or reprisal for participating in EEO activity or opposing discriminatory acts.

    If you believe you have been the victim of discrimination in your work or through the employment process, you should follow JMD’s EEO complaint process, including initiating contact with an EEO counselor within 45 calendar days of the occurrence of the alleged discrimination (narrow exceptions to the time limit apply).

    You can find DOJ EEO policies here.

    If you know about waste, fraud, abuse, misconduct, or whistleblower retaliation within the Department of Justice, you may report it to the Office of the Inspector General by filing a complaint through OIG’s Hotline.

  • The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Data Analysis Group regularly releases reports and statistics on the the federal workforce, such as the Federal Employment Reports. OPM’s website also includes the latest chart on Executive Branch Employment by Gender and Race/National Origin.

  • The Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) website has many resources on workplace flexibility, including leave policies, work schedule policies, OPM’s current definitions of “family member” and “immediate relative” for leave purposes, this guide for nursing parents.

 

Legal information is not the same as legal advice — the application of law to an individual’s specific circumstances. None of the information on this website constitutes or should be construed as providing legal advice. DOJ GEN recommends you consult a qualified employment lawyer if you seek professional advice about the law and its application to your particular situation.
