Seyfarth Shaw – The EEOC and the Department of Labor Wage Hour Division have taken an important step toward inter-agency coordination, committing to information sharing, joint investigations, training, and public outreach.
The Memorandum of Understanding between the EEOC and DOL contemplates referring complaints between the two agencies, a move that should catch the attention of all employers. What is more, the agencies have agreed to share swaths of information, including EEO-1 reports and FLSA records. This coordination will not just occur at the agency leadership level – the MOU enables front-line personnel from both agencies to receive shared information quickly and expeditiously. This enhanced and elevated level of agency cooperation should be top of mind for all employers.
