KEITH E. SONDERLING, COMMISSIONER

Keith E. Sonderling was confirmed by the U.S. Senate, with a bipartisan vote, to
be a Commissioner on the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) in
2020. Until January of 2021, he served as the Commission’s Vice-Chair. His term
expires July of 2024.

Prior to his confirmation to the EEOC, Commissioner Sonderling served as the
Acting and Deputy Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division at the U.S.
Department of Labor. Before joining the Department of Labor in 2017,
Commissioner Sonderling practiced Labor and Employment law in Florida.
Commissioner Sonderling also serves as a Professional Lecturer in the Law at The
George Washington University Law School, teaching employment discrimination.

Since joining the EEOC, one of Commissioner Sonderling’s highest priorities is
ensuring that artificial intelligence and workplace technologies are designed
and deployed consistent with long-standing civil rights laws. Commissioner
Sonderling has published numerous articles on the benefits and potential harms
of using artificial intelligence-based technology in the workplace and speaks
globally on these emerging issues.

Immediately before his confirmation to the EEOC, as Deputy and Acting
Administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division,
Sonderling oversaw enforcement, outreach, regulatory work, strategic planning,
performance management, communications, and stakeholder engagement.  The
Division accomplished back-to-back record-breaking enforcement collections and
educational outreach events during his tenure.  The Wage and Hour Division
administers and enforces federal labor laws, including the Fair Labor Standards
Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the labor provisions of the
Immigration and Nationality Act.

Commissioner Sonderling also oversaw the development and publication of
large-scale deregulatory rules and authored numerous Opinion Letters, Field
Assistance Bulletins, and All Agency Memorandums. Additionally, he was
instrumental in developing the Division’s first comprehensive self-audit
program, which collected more than $7 million for nearly eleven thousand
workers.

Before his government service, Commissioner Sonderling was a partner at one of
Florida’s oldest and largest law firms, Gunster.  At Gunster, he counseled
employers and litigated labor and employment disputes.  In 2012, then-Governor
Rick Scott appointed Sonderling to serve as the Chair of the Judicial Nominating
Committee for appellate courts in South Florida.  

Sonderling received his B.S., magna cum laude, from the University of Florida
and his J.D., magna cum laude, from Nova Southeastern University.
