Seyfarth Shaw Submits Guidance To The EEOC On Its Quality Control Plan "Draft Principles"

On May 10, 2013, the EEOC released its Quality Control Plan (“QCP”) draft principles.  In an accompanying press release, the EEOC said that the “[Quality Control Plan] will revise criteria to measure the quality of agency investigations and conciliations throughout the nation.”

If the Plan is a “blueprint” for the EEOC’s enforcement activity, the “draft principles” could only be called a rough and high-level sketch of the ultimate structure. The EEOC’s Strategic Enforcement Plan for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2016 requires the EEOC to develop a QCP that “establishes criteria for evaluating the quality of its investigations and conciliations and a peer review system to conduct assessments of investigations and conciliations.” The draft principles are intended to address “issues of quality and timeliness.”
