The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued the latest edition of its federal sector Digest of Equal Employment Opportunity Law (http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/digest/xxvi-1.cfm).

This quarterly publication, prepared by EEOC's Office of Federal Operations (OFO), features a wide variety of recent Commission decisions and federal court cases of interest. Additionally, it contains a special article entitled Gender Identity and Sexual Orientation Coverage Under Title VII Case Law Update: Review of Pre- and Post-Macy Title VII Protections for LGBT Employees.

The August 2015 edition of the Digest contains summaries of noteworthy decisions issued by EEOC. This edition features cases involving agency processing attorneys' fees, compensatory damages, dismissals, findings on the merits, remedies, sanctions, stating a claim, settlement agreements, summary judgment, and timeliness.

The summaries are neither intended to be exhaustive or definitive as to the selected subject matter, nor are they to be given the legal weight of case law in citations. In addition to the quarterly Digest, Commission federal sector decisions are available on EEOC's website at http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/decisions.cfm.
