Key Federal Employment Agencies Affected by Shutdown

Posted on October 1, 2013 in HR Insights for Health Care

EEOC and NLRB Are Idle

With the failure of Congress last night to fund the federal government, several of the agencies responsible for the investigation and enforcement of federal labor and employment laws have gone idle. Except for life threatening emergencies, property preservation and actions to accept filings to avoid statutes of limitations, most other services, including investigations, are suspended for the duration.  Refer to the EEOC’s shutdown plan here and the NLRB’s plan here.
