EEOC Publishes New Guidance on Workplace Harassment
LEOS Protection • May 1, 2024
The United States Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) has issued its final guidance on 'Enforcement Guidance on Harassment in the Workplace'.
Our Clark Hill attorney summary provides valuable insight on the recent guidance.
While not binding law, the new guidance aims to provide updated information on EEOC’s expanded view of what constitutes workplace harassment, including the expansion of Title VII’s prohibition on sex discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity as the U.S. Supreme Court determined in Bostock v. Clayton County in June 2020.
This new guidance updates and replaces the EEOC’s previous five guidance documents to provide a single resource for the public on EEOC-enforced workplace harassment laws.

Effective 09/28/2020, you can electronically receive and respond to letters from OWCP directly through your ECOMP Dashboard. If OWCP sends you a letter requiring a response, it will now appear in your ECOMP dashboard under the “Action Required” tab. You can respond online and attach documents to your response. A video tutorial is also available in ECOMP’s Help Menu under User Guides / Injured Worker / Introduction. If OWCP sends you an informational-only letter, it will only appear in your Case View, which you cannot access from your dashboard. To access your Case View, you must click on the case number from your dashboard. The second change also takes effect today, September 28, 2020, when OWCP will start using 202-513-6860 as the sole telephone number where you can reach them from 9:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET, Monday – Friday (except for federal holidays). This new voice line will replace the current 12 FECA district office telephone numbers and provide you direct access to your assigned Claims Examiner.
