The EEOC only has jurisdication over employment claims or issues involving violation of the federal anti-discrimination law: e.g. if you were terminated due to your race, color, national origin, sex (but not sexual orientation or gender identity, under new federal guidelines), age 40 or over, religion or disability. If you believe you were terminated due one of these factors, bring it to the EEOC. If, on the other hand, your claim is based on breach of an employment contract or defamtion, you will need a private attorney.
