The
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was established by Title VII
of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and began operating on July 2, 1965. EEOC
enforces federal statutes concerning Civil Rights (Title VII), Age
Discrimination in Employment, Equal Pay, Americans with Disabilities (Titles I
& V), and the Rehabilitation Act (Section 501 & 505). EEOC's website
contains a lot of useful information including timely news stories on the home
page. Some highlights of the website are:
- The
Laws, Regulations and Guidance section contains the text of the Laws
Enforced by EEOC, EEOC Regulations, some sections of the Compliance Manual,
Enforcement Guidances, and Memoranda of Understanding.
- The
Federal Agencies and Employees section contains information about Alternative
Dispute Resolution, Outreach and Training, and
Federal Sector Appellate Decisions. The decisions are in a searchable
database. You can search by the complainant's name, the EEOC appeal number or
keywords. This section also contains the
Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law. "This publication includes
feature articles on timely issues in equal employment opportunity law, as well
as summaries of recent Commission decisions and federal court cases, as they
affect Federal government employees."
- The
Litigation section contains Statistics, Monthly Settlement Reports and a
searchable database of selected
Commission Appellate and Amicus Briefs. The briefs included in the database
