New 'Digest of EEO Law' Issued by EEOC

Latest Quarterly Edition Includes Selected Notable 2019 Decisions

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced the newest edition of the federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law (EEO Digest), is now available on the EEOC’s website.

“This annual compilation edition of noteworthy decisions provides a convenient reference for federal sector stakeholders,” said Carlton M. Hadden, director of the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations (OFO).  “The latest edition highlights important 2019 case decisions.”

The EEO Digest, a quarterly publication prepared by OFO, features a wide variety of recent Commis­sion decisions and federal court cases of interest. The Digest also includes hyperlinks so stakeholders can easily access the full decisions that have been summarized. This edition of the Digest contains summaries of note­worthy decisions issued by the EEOC, including cases involving Attorneys’ Fees, Class Certification, Compen­satory Damages, and Complaint Processing.  It also includes cases discussing Dismissals, Findings on the Merits, Remedies, Sanctions, Settlement Agreements, Stating a Claim, Summary Judgment, and Timeliness.

The summaries are neither intended to be exhaustive or definitive as to the selected subject matter, nor are they to be given the legal weight of case law in citations. In addition to the quarterly Digest, Commission federal sector decisions are available on the EEOC's website. The public may also receive federal sector information updates and news items via GovDelivery and Twitter.

The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination in the public and private sectors. Further information about the EEOC is available online at www.eeoc.gov. Stay connected with the latest EEOC news by subscribing to our email updates.
