• U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Performance and Accountability Report — Fiscal Year 2015

Benefits for Victims of Discrimination: EEOC secured more than $525 million for victims of discrimination in the workplace. This includes:

• $356.6 million in relief for those who work in the private sector—secured through the agency’s mediation, conciliation, and other administrative enforcement efforts. EEOC achieved record success in its conciliation of private sector charges, with 44 percent of conciliations successfully resolved and 64 percent of systemic investigations resulting in voluntary resolutions.

• $65.3 million in relief for charging parties—obtained through litigation. EEOC also obtained substantial targeted equitable relief in both its administrative enforcement and its litigation to remedy violations of equal employment opportunity laws. The agency put new practices in place to prevent future discriminatory conduct in the workplace.

• $105.7 million in relief for federal employees and applicants through our federal sector process

• “Inflexible Leave Policy is Fair, Lawful and Protects Disabled Employees, Says Tenth Circuit”


”The EEOC has sued numerous employers, alleging that their 'inflexible leave policies' were unlawful because they did not take into account the possibility of the employer’s providing additional leave as a reasonable accommodation. Those employers have agreed to pay, literally, millions of dollars to settle those cases. We have posted about those settlements. See here.

”But now, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has not only rejected the idea that inflexible leave policies are inherently discriminatory….”

Note: Case applies solely to the Tenth Circuit, and, there may be a lot more heard about this issue.
