The Fair Employment Practices (FEP) section monitors the County's fair employment programs and promotes bias-free work environments in Miami-Dade County. FEP also develops and implements employment policies and programs that ensure equal employment opportunity and compliance with applicable anti-discrimination laws, investigates complaints of discrimination, performs fact-finding and mediation conferences, resolves workplace conflicts, and develops programs that focus on the creation of respectful and professional work environments.

FEP is committed to preventing and addressing all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment based on any of the protected classes in order to ensure that County employees are able to enjoy respectful and professional work environments.

As part of our proactive work in eliminating and preventing discrimination and harassment, we develop and implement employee training programs that promote respectful and professional workplace conduct. We also provide counsel to employees and management regarding their rights and responsibilities under County policies and local, state, and federal anti-discrimination laws.
