Discrimination Complaint Tracking and Monitoring
The Equity and Accessibility Management Services Division (EAMSD), Discrimination Complaint Tracking and Monitoring Unit maintains statewide oversight of the collection and analysis of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint data across all state departments. Oversight consists of monitoring agency EEO programs for trends, patterns, and overall fitness of the complaint process. Consultants are available to assist department EEO Officers in their efforts to implement effective EEO Programs and to develop action plans for challenging circumstances as they arise.
Annual Reporting
Discrimination Complaint Tracking System (DCTS)
Reporting EEO Complaint Data
The Discrimination Complaint Tracking System (DCTS) is California’s system of record to track and monitor statewide discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and denial of reasonable accommodation complaint activities. Departments log pertinent complaint data and provide quarterly reporting to the EAMSD. CalHR uses the DCTS to collect and report statewide data relevant to EEO complaints.
Note: Employees wishing to file a complaint may contact their department EEO Officer, the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). CalHR does not receive or process EEO complaints.
Accessing DCTS
Strict guidelines protect against unauthorized DCTS access. To request new access, submit a signed Access Request Form and a Security Agreement to CalHR.DCTS@calhr.ca.gov. For changes to departments or roles, or to deactivate a user, a new Access Request Form is required. All requests must be approved by EAMSD before the user may register for DCTS training. System login credentials are granted only after training is completed.
