Question

What will the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission do if the defendant does not answer a complaint?

Answer 1

In my experience, if the defendant does not answer, the plaintiff wins the case.

Answer 2

Depends on where the complaint was filed. But typically its called a default where the well pleaded allegations of the complaint are taken as true, and then the appropriate remedy is usually granted.

Answer 3

the defendant loses by default

I would assume...

Answer 4

The EEOC is not a judiciary body.  If the defendant does not answer, they decide how to proceed with the evidence they have.  They can either file a lawsuit anyway or wait and see if there are more complaints against the employer.
