The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently announced a six-month pilot program that will greatly expand not only the number of charges that are eligible for mediation, but also the time period in which mediations will be allowed. The ACT (Access, Categories, Time) mediation pilot began on July 6, 2020, and was implemented as an effort to expand on the EEOC’s already successful mediation program and further encourage the voluntary resolution of charges.
