This applies in all cases <br />where an administrative appeal is provided, whether the case is <br />administratively resolved, dismissed, decided, or when no cause is <br />found. For Title VII charges only, the fifteen day period during which <br />Substantial Weight Review may be requested and/or the period during <br />which a Substantial 1N~eight Review is conducted is not considered for <br />the purposes of computing the operative date of the final disposition of a <br />charge. <br />e. Contract credit submissions that are not final dispositions will include: <br />1) Charges to be litigated by the Contractor where EEOC receives copies <br />of the complaints bearing confirmation of the filing dates with the Court, <br />or other appropriate official confirmation of the filing dates of the <br />complaints; 2) Certain types of charges that must be transferred to the <br />EEOC that are not final actions by the Contractor, as specified in EEOC <br />Order 916 (or the new State and Local Handbook when issued!; and 3- <br />Intake services by the Contractor where EEOC accepts for processing a <br />charge initially filed but not jurisdictional with the Contractor, or any <br />other FEP Agency, and for which the Contractor has prepared all charge <br />intake documentation, including a complete affidavit, as required by the <br />EEOC. In addition, contract credit for intake services will be given when <br />EEOC accepts for processing a charge initially filed with but not <br />jurisdictional with the Contractor, and the Contract Monitor determines <br />and justifies that there is a need to service charging parties who live at <br />great distances from an EEOC or State FEP Agency office. <br />C-4 <br />
