EEOC’s Systemic Discrimination as Priority

EEOCThe U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is aggressively pursuing investigations into cases of “patterns and practices” of discrimination.  It’s doing so as part of its Systemic Discrimination Program, which it has stated is a top priority.

In 2013, the agency reached conciliation agreements with companies that totaled about $40 million.  The average agreement was over $600,000.

The Systemic Discrimination Program is used to transform a single charge of discrimination into a broad investigation of the employer.  These investigations examine the employer’s policies & practices related to such issues as:

  • Recruitment & hiring
  • Age
  • Gender, especially exclusion of females into male dominated positions
