An active U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission inked several notable settlement agreements with employers last month, five of which were highlighted on HR Dive.
Two of the disputes concerned sex-based harassment, with the agency obtaining half a million dollars for a class of female job applicants who claimed that a Texas logistics company maintained a “male-only” hiring policy for certain roles.
In another case, the agency returned to a topic — anti-American discrimination — that it has repeatedly emphasized under Chair Andrea Lucas. EEOC obtained relief for a U.S.-based employee who alleged she was denied the ability to work remotely while her India-based colleagues were allowed to do so.
