Operating Status

The EEOC has closed its physical offices to the public and implemented agency-wide expanded telework due to COVID-19. But our work continues remotely, across the private and federal sectors, and in our efforts educate the public about their workplace rights and responsibilities. The EEOC's private sector litigation continues, in accordance with the rules of the courts where the cases are filed. See EEOC Continues to Serve the Public During COVID-19 Crisis for further information.
