Employee Relations
Important Update: Referral of EEO Inquiries and Complaints
Effective immediately, all internal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) cases within the State of Alaska (SOA) that are sent to the Employee Relations Program will be referred directly to the State EEO Program. This change is implemented to ensure the highest standards in managing these sensitive issues.
