Report Link The Unwelcome Guest: When the EEOC Knocks.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - October 14, 2008 The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) enjoys great power and broad discretion in achieving its statutory goals, especially when it comes to obtaining information through on-site investigations. While a defensive attitude on the part of employers toward these investigations is justified, an evasive or overly confrontational approach to the EEOC can not only be expensive and frustrating, but can harm the reputation and good will that a business has worked hard to develop. Through a better understanding of the EEOC investigatory process, employers can effectively reduce the negative impact of this unwanted agency attention and achieve the ultimate goal of convincing the EEOC that an underlying charge of discrimination lacks merit. Report Link To Avoid Becoming EEOC Statistic, Plan Ahead (pdf).Littler Mendelson, P.C. - June 11, 2008 In this attorney authored article, David Goldman of Littler's San Francisco office discusses the sharp increase in private-sector discrimination charges filed with the EEOC. He provides guidelines for employers to reduce the number of discrimination charges and the punitive fines that employers incur due to these charges. "Even if a drop in claims did not occur after training, such efforts would help employers avoid punitive damages in federal discrimination litigation," says Goldman. He also indicates that if the correlation between poor economic conditions and claims is correct, then more challenges are ahead.
