D. Reporting to OGC

With the advent of EEOC's Integrated Mission System (IMS), legal unit reporting has been simplified. While legal units must still submit a few reports and documents to the Office of General Counsel headquarters (OGC-HQ), other reports will be automatically generated in IMS. Set out below are the required IMS entries as well as the reports and documents legal units are required to submit to OGC-HQ, the times of entry or submission, and the individuals (or position titles) to whom submissions should be sent. In designating a case as class or individual in IMS or on a report, treat as class only cases meeting the following criteria: (1) cases challenging a policy that applies to a group of similarly situated individuals; or (2) cases challenging a practice that affects a group of similarly situated individuals. The number of identified claimants in a case is not determinative of whether it should be considered class; for example, a case involving two or more individuals whose claims viewed together do not evince a policy or practice affecting similarly situated individuals should not be designated class, while a case challenging a policy applicable to a protected group should be treated as class even if no affected individuals have been identified.
