INDIANAPOLIS— The federal agency tasked with investigating discrimination in the workplace now says it will avoid furloughing employees later this month, WRTV Investigates has learned.As WRTV reported, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission put more than 2,000 employees across the country on notice, including at least 58 workers in the Indianapolis office.A furlough is a temporary, unpaid leave of absence from work or a reduction in hours for an employee.

The agency says it’s been under “significant spending constraints” this fiscal year because their enacted budget was held at the FY2023 level of $455 million while the EEOC faced increased costs including rent and security.“In FY 2024, federal employees received a well-deserved, but unfunded, 5.2% pay increase with accompanying increases in benefits,” the EEOC told WRTV In an email.
