The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received 73,485 discrimination charges in fiscal year 2022 ended Sept. 30, an almost 20% increase from the previous fiscal year, the agency said in a report issued today (Monday 3/13/2023).

It also managed 475,000 calls, which was an 18% increase from FY 2021, and managed 32% more emails from the public, the report said. In conjunction with the performance report, the agency released its general counsel’s office’s annual report, which said the agency filed 91 employment discrimination lawsuits, of which 62, or 68.1% of the total, were filed under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 27, or 29.7%, were filed under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Some cases were filed under more than one act.

Forty-five of the lawsuits alleged sex discrimination; 32 alleged retaliation; 27 alleged disability discrimination; and 17 alleged race discrimination. Discharge was the most frequently alleged issue, accounting for 58 of the suits, followed by harassment, at 39, and hiring, at 27.

The California WARN Act requires that an employer with 75 or more employees provide at least 60 days' notice before large-scale layoffs or plant closures. The law comes into play to cushion employees and their families against sudden losses of income by providing ample time to seek other jobs or enroll in retraining programs. Employers who violate this law are subject to penalties, as well as have to pay the employee in question for any wages and benefits lost.
