Support and Resources [1]
[2]OERC offers a variety of supportive measures to ensure a safe and nondiscriminatory environment and to reduce disruptions to daily life. OERC coordinates with offices across system administration to help individuals remain at work while balancing the various needs of all involved parties. This includes providing resources for individuals who have experienced behavior prohibited under applicable policies (complainant) and those accused of prohibited conduct (respondent).
OERC also provides assistance and information about resolution options and makes referrals when a situation falls outside of OERC jurisdiction.
