This table shows charge data for sexual harassment allegations, i.e., harassment of a sexual nature (harassment allegations are only included if they are also alleged in a charge). This table has been harmonized with other data on this site and only show charges filed with the EEOC. For tables from earlier fiscal years showing charges filed both with the EEOC and also with Fair Employment Practice Agency partners, go to Sexual Harassment Charges (EEOC & FEPAs Combined).

EEOC total workload includes charges carried over from previous fiscal years, new charge receipts and charges transferred to EEOC from Fair Employment Practice Agencies (FEPAs). Resolution of charges each year may therefore exceed receipts for that year because workload being resolved is drawn from a combination of pending, new receipts and FEPA transfer charges rather than from new charges only.
