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.

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 exist to protect against unauthorized access to DCTS. Department users are advised to read and follow Security and Access Guidelines at all times. To obtain new user authorization or change access from one department to another, a signed Access Request Form and Security Agreement are required to be submitted to CalHR.DCTS@calhr.ca.gov. The Access Request Form is also used to deactivate users. All access requests must be approved by CalHR EAMSD prior to training.

Note: User access credentials are approved only after completion of DCTS training.
