EEOC Rules on Transgender Employee Bathroom Use
Posted 05.04.16
On May 2, 2016, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) published guidance for employers regarding bathroom access rights for transgender employees.
In its guidance, the EEOC states that denying transgender employees the right to use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Title VII). According to the EEOC, this guidance is consistent with prior guidance, as well as judicial decisions.
