Agency Description/Mission: The Division of Human Rights is responsible for processing charges of employment discrimination under federal statutes and the North Dakota Human Rights Act (NDCC § 14-02.4). In October 1987, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) designated the North Dakota Department of Labor as a Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA). The federal statutes include Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; and the Americans with Disabilities Act. In addition, the North Dakota Human Rights Act permits the North Dakota Department of Labor to process charges of employment discrimination that do not meet federal jurisdiction. The complaints may include issues of marital status, public assistance, and lawful activity off the employer’s premises during non-working hours which is not in direct conflict with the essential business-related functions of the employer.
