A Complainant’s requested reimbursement for her own personal costs associated with pursuing her complaint (including mileage and parking expenses incurred for trips to the Equal Rights Division offices and to her attorney’s office, and wages she lost on days she attended an Equal Rights Division’s investigative interview and the hearing) was denied. While the Department has authority under the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act to order reimbursement for the costs reasonably incurred by a Complainant’s attorney, the Act does not grant authority to the Department to order reimbursement for costs personally incurred by a Complainant. Halverson v. Milwaukee County (LIRC, 05/22/87).
