This week, we’re highlighting notable employment law updates from federal agencies and the courts, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the Department of Labor (DOL), and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

EEOC Releases FAQs on the State of the Agency

The EEOC, under the leadership of Acting Chair Andrea Lucas, recently released answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) following President Trump's series of executive orders affecting the agency. 

DOL Halts OFCCP Activity Under Rescinded Executive Order

Acting Secretary of Labor Vince Micone recently issued an order directing the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to stop all enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246. 

DOL Independent Contractor Rule Paused

The Fifth Circuit recently granted the DOL's request to delay oral arguments, and it seems likely that the independent contractor rule will be short-lived.
