Human resources: Top list of discrimination claims
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released its list of discrimination claims filed in 2005, and it is no surprise that sexual discrimination topped the list, with 46.9% of cases relating to sex discrimination. This is equivalent to 23,743 cases and over $91.3 million recovered for these claims. Your human resources department can assist you in getting more information on the details of these cases. The other claim categories are as follows:
- 35.8% Retaliation
- 21.1% Race
- 12.8% Disability
- 11.2% Age
- 7.8% National Origin
- 3.9% Religion
