The club and its chairman have until 14 November to respond
The FA has issued charges in relation to the dismissal of former employee Mark McCammon from Gillingham Football Club in 2011.
Gillingham FC has been charged, along with its Chairman Paul Scally, with a breach of FA Rule E3.
In both instances it is alleged that they failed to act in the best interests of the game, and/or brought the game into disrepute by committing an act of race victimisation by dismissing Mark McCammon.
Both Gillingham FC and Mr Scally have until 14 November 2014 to respond
