When filing a court case, the employee (Plaintiff) generally names as the Defendant, the head of the agency. For example, Janet Howard vs. Carlos Gutierrez, Secretary of Commerce. Although additional defendants may be added to court complaints, it is standard protocol for federal employees to name the head of the agency in employment discrimination complaints. It should be noted; however, that at the administrative level (within the agency) when an employee or applicant files an EEO complaint against a Federal agency, the complainant generally names an individual (rarely the head of the agency) as the person they perceived to have discriminated against them. What is an
