In the past few years, federal and state agencies have increased enforcement efforts through investigations and inspections. Now, most businesses can expect to be visited by a government agency at some point during their existence. These visits often occur because the organization was selected for an audit, either at random or in response to a specific employee complaint. Agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may also ask for documentation of personnel policies and practices in the course of investigating a discrimination charge.
