Winter Quarterly Edition Includes Variety of Key Federal Sector Decisions
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the latest edition of its federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law, which is available online at http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/digest/index.cfm
This quarterly publication, prepared by the EEOC's Office of Federal Operations (OFO), features recent agency decisions and federal court cases of interest. The latest edition also includes a special article on Sanctions for Contumacious Conduct.
"The Digest of EEO Law, a treasure trove of information, is required reading for anyone who wants to be well-versed in the federal sector EEO community," said OFO Director Carlton M. Hadden, "particularly those who are navigating the process for the first time, as well as for EEO counselors, investigators, attorneys, professional staff and practitioners."
The Winter 2013 edition of the Digest contains a sampling of summaries of noteworthy decisions selected by OFO from among the volume of decisions issued by EEOC each fiscal year, including topics such as:
- Federal Sector EEO Complaint Processing
- Attorneys' Fees
- Compensatory Damages
- Remedies
- Sanctions
- Settlement Agreements,
- Summary Judgment
- Timeliness
While these summaries are not intended to be exhaustive or definitive as to their subject matter, and may not be given the legal weight of case law in citations, they are a good source of relevant information.
In addition to the quarterly Digest, Commission federal sector decisions are available on the EEOC's website at http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/decisions.cfm. The public may also receive federal sector information updates and news items via Twitter: @EEOC_OFO.
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.
