The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that the newest edition of the federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law (EEO Digest), is now available on the EEOC’s website. The EEO Digest, a quarterly publication prepared by the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations (OFO), features a wide variety of recent Commission decisions and federal court cases of interest. This particular edition includes summaries of noteworthy decisions issued by the EEOC on subjects such as Attorneys’ Fees, Class Certification, Compensatory Damages and Complaint Processing. It also includes an article addressing the consequences of fragmentation on harassment claims. “Fragmented processing of a claim can compromise a complainant’s ability to present an integrated and coherent claim, particularly with regard to allegations of unlawful harassment,” said Carlton M. Hadden, director of the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations (OFO). “This article provides important information for stakeholders on identifying and properly addressing and processing claims susceptible to fragmentation.”
