Palm Beach County Office of Equal Opportunity closed to the public to prevent the spread of COVID-19

Body

In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), effective immediately, the Palm Beach County Office of Equal Opportunity (OEO) office is closed for walk-in visits but is still conducting intake interviews and assisting individuals over the telephone.  This action minimizes the health risks to county employees and the public while ensuring that no individual loses their rights under the laws that we enforce. Preserving access to being able to file a charge of discrimination or complaint is important because the laws the OEO enforces have deadlines within which individuals must file discrimination charges or complaints.

If you would like to begin the process of filing a charge or complaint of discrimination, you are encouraged to visit the OEO's website (www.pbcgov.com/equalopportunity) to complete the applicable questionnaire.  Additionally, you may also contact the OEO at (561) 355-4884 or (561) 355-1517 (TTY/TDD) to begin the process of filing a charge or complaint of discrimination or if you have a disability or you otherwise have difficulty with accessing the website.
