A conciliation at the EEOC is the agency's attempt to settle your claim such that it does not have to go to court. Most employment cases settle at one point or another -- and this could be a great opportunity to resolve the problem once and for all, without the expenses and delays of litigation.
BUT... PLEASE see a lawyer before you enter into an agreement to settle your claim. You need to know your legal rights before you sign them away, and you need to know whatever your responsibilities would be under the agreement. Further, there are a lot of things in these written release agreements that are totally one-sided and could really hurt you down the road.
It's worth it to see a lawyer for an hour or so to make sure you're making a wise decision, knowing all your rights.
