Office of Compliance FY2017 Annual Report - 16

ADMINISTRATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

MONETARY SETTLEMENTS
AND AWARDS
Section 415 of the CAA establishes
"an account of the Office in the
Treasury of the United States for the
payment of awards and settlements
. . . under [the CAA]," and further
appropriates "such sums as may
be necessary to pay such awards
and settlements." Section 415
requires that awards and settlements
under the CAA be paid from that
account. Under the CAA, this
treasury account is separate from
the operating expenses account of
the OOC. The parties decide the
settlement amounts and terms. An
award or judgment may also be
ordered by a Hearing Officer, the
Board of Directors, or a court of
competent jurisdiction.
A monetary settlement or award
may resolve multiple claims.
The settlements and awards in
the accompanying chart resolved
harassment, discrimination, and
retaliation claims, as well as claims
arising out of contract and/or
pay disputes.
In FY17, the total number of
settlements/awards was eight, and the
total aggregate amount was $934,754.
