## When to use it

Use when a charge has been served and the EEOC has asked for a position statement. The outline is not the statement. Do not upload it. The statement that is uploaded may be released to the charging party.

## Used for these tasks

- [Draft the unfair-dismissal or equivalent tribunal application and response](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations/draft-the-unfair-dismissal-or-equivalent-tribunal-application-and-respon.md)
- [Prepare the employer's response to an unfair dismissal application in the Fair Work Commission](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations/prepare-the-employer-s-response-to-an-unfair-dismissal-application-in-th.md)
- [Draft a general-protections or retaliation claim and response](https://ailawframework.com/practice/employment-and-workplace-relations/draft-a-general-protections-or-retaliation-claim-and-response.md)

## How AI may be used

AI may arrange the charge's allegations and the lawyer's documents under the EEOC headings. The lawyer writes the facts and signs off before anyone uploads a statement.

**AI may:**

- Place each charge allegation in the table with the document the lawyer tags as the response
- List witnesses by the role the lawyer names, without home addresses or Social Security numbers
- Mark an attachment the lawyer has called confidential so it is not left in the main statement

**AI must not:**

- Must not draft an affidavit or the witness's words
- Must not upload the outline or the statement to the Respondent Portal
- Must not label the charging party's own medical information as sensitive medical information

**The lawyer checks:**

- Every allegation in the charge has a row
- Confidential material is in a separately labeled attachment, with a justification that is not a blanket claim
- The person who will sign is an officer, agent, or representative authorized to speak for the respondent, and the deadline has been checked
