A 30% rise in state employee complaints suggests increased misconduct (like ethics violations, discrimination) or better reporting, with Illinois's Office of the Inspector General (OEIG) DCFS Report and Department of Human Rights (IDHR) handling various issues from discrimination (race, sex, disability) to whistleblower retaliation and ethics breaches, requiring timely filing for issues like retaliation (30 days) or general discrimination (2 years).
A complainant to the OIG, or anyone providing information, may request that their identity be kept confidential. To protect the confidentiality of the complainant, the OIG will attempt to procure evidence through other means whenever possible. However, if the complainant does not provide enough information, the OIG may not be able to pursue the investigation. The OIG and the Department are mandated to ensure that no one will be retaliated against for making a good-faith complaint or providing information in good faith to the OIG.
PRIVACY!
