*Federal sector decisions are randomly assigned pseudonyms which replace the Complainant's name when the decision is published to the Commission's website.  In some federal sector appeals the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is both the respondent agency and the adjudicatory authority.  All appellate decisions in which the EEOC is the respondent agency are voted on by the Commission.*Return to top
