- Excerpt from Introduction:
Over the years, Littler has provided periodic reports on significant cases, regulatory developments and other activities involving the equal employment opportunity Commission (EEOC or “the Commission”). While such guidance is intended to update employers on significant EEOC developments as they arise, we believe that employers can also benefit from an annual update and overview of key EEOC developments. This Annual Report on EEOC Developments—Fiscal Year 2013 (hereafter “report”), our third annual report, is designed as a comprehensive guide to significant EEOC developments over the past fiscal year.
This year’s report examines the EEOC's continued steps to implement its strategic enforcement Plan for Fiscal Years 2012-2016, including its focus on pursuing systemic cases. The EEOC considers “systemic cases” as “pattern or practice, policy and/or class cases where the alleged discrimination has a broad impact on an industry, profession, company, or geographic location.”
