EEOC Powered Up for Swift Action Once Government Shutdown Ends

Once we are back to business as usual, we expect a flurry of activity from the EEOC to further the current administration's priorities. At the top of the list will be updated guidance on harassment and pregnant worker protections in the workplace and a more focused litigation strategy aligned with the goals of the president's executive orders issued earlier this year. Now that the EEOC has a quorum, it can resume its activities in a more “official” capacity — that is, after its funding is back on track. We will continue to monitor and keep employers informed of significant developments.
