Which statement correctly identifies the basis for filing an EO complaint?

Filing an Equal Opportunity (EO) complaint requires that the complaint be submitted within a specific timeframe following the alleged incident. The basis for this timeframe is to ensure timely reporting and resolution of complaints, as delays can affect the investigation and the availability of evidence or witnesses. By requiring complaints to be filed within 60 calendar days, the process encourages individuals to come forward while the details of the incidents are still recent and clear, thereby increasing the possibility of a fair and thorough investigation. This timeframe provides a structured approach for both the complainant and the responding entity in handling issues of discrimination or unfair treatment in a timely manner.
