Last month, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission published a new rule affecting its own processes for dealing with employers under investigation. The conciliation process, which is statutorily mandated, occurs after the EEOC has determined there is reasonable cause to believe the employer has violated an employment statute and is the means by which the EEOC attempts to resolve its perceived issues with the employer’s practices. The new rule, which went into effect this week, mandates a significant increase in transparency and is a boon for any employer attempting to resolve an EEOC investigation without litigation.
