Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 10.14.05
Under a DoD policy memo issued October 11, 2005 (http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/policy/policyvault/2005-1399-DPAP.pdf), the costs of vacation and personal leave – but not sick leave – donated by contractor employees to charitable organizations providing assistance to victims of Hurricane Katrina will be treated as allowable compensation costs rather than unallowable donations. Consistent with parallel guidance from the IRS, the DoD policy applies to payments made to charitable organizations before January 1, 2007.

On February 17, 2026, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a complaint against Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, Inc., in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire, alleging that the company violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) by conducting an event limited to female employees. The EEOC’s lawsuit is one of several recent actions from the EEOC in furtherance of its efforts to end what it refers to as “unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination.” See EEOC and Justice Department Warn Against Unlawful DEI-Related Discrimination | U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
