WASHINGTON --  The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced the availability of the newest edition of the federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law (EEO Digest).

The EEO Digest, a quarterly publication prepared by the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations, features a wide variety of recent EEOC decisions and federal court cases of interest. This edition contains summaries of noteworthy decisions issued by the EEOC, including cases involving attorney’s fees, class certification, compensatory damages and dismissals.  It also includes cases discussing 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, EEOC federal sector decisions are available on www.eeoc.gov. The public may also receive federal sector information updates and news items via GovDelivery and Twitter.

The EEOC advances opportunities in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available online at www.eeoc.gov.
