Sam filed a discrimination case against his employer with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC sent a notice of charge to Sam's employer. In this scenario, which of the following is most likely to be the immediate next step in the process of bringing a discrimination claim with the EEOC?

a. Both Sam and his employer will receive a referral to mediation from the EEOC, if appropriate.
b. The EEOC will issue a right-to-sue letter to Sam.
c. Both Sam and his employer will have to offer evidence to the U.S. Supreme Court as soon as the notice of charge is issued.
d. The EEOC will immediately investigate the claim.

To begin with, the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or EEOC is the name given to a federal agency in the United States whose main purpose is to manages and enforces civil rights laws against workplace discrimination that people might suffered from their employers. Therefore that in the cases where the employee presents a discrimination case against his employer, then after the receival from both parties of the notice of charge from the EEOC, the Commission will send a referral to mediation due to the fact that is the most easy and cheap way to continue the case from both sides, thanks to that maybe an agreement between them could be arranged.
