Once the investigator has completed the investigation, MCCR will make a determination on the merits of the charge.

• If MCCR is unable to conclude that there is reasonable cause to believe that discrimination occurred, the Charging Party will be issued a written finding concluding No Probable Cause. This notice informs the Charging Party that they have the right to file a request for reconsideration directly with MCCR within 15 days of the issuance of the No Probable Cause finding. The Complainant also has the right to request a Substantial Weight Review with EEOC which must be filed directly with EEOC and done so within 15 days from which the finding was issued.  Additionally, the Complainant has the ability to request a Federal Notice of Right to Sue from the EEOC which would enable the Complainant to file a complaint in Federal District Court. The employer will also receive a copy of this notice.
• If MCCR determines there is reasonable cause to believe discrimination has occurred, both parties will be issued a written finding of  Probable Cause stating that there is reason to believe that discrimination occurred and inviting the parties to join the agency in seeking to resolve the charge through an informal process known as conciliation.
• When conciliation does not succeed in resolving the charge, MCCR has the authority to enforce violations of its statutes by filing a lawsuit in state court.
