Enforcement timeline
Chronologically-ordered enforcement actions linked to the instruments and topics tracked in the Policy Window catalog. Closed cases sort by their resolution year; ongoing cases sort by initiation. Each entry links to the catalog topics + the catalog instruments the case touches, and (where possible) to the best-available primary source for the action.
13 catalogued cases total · 1 match the current filter (topic = AI in Employment; instrument = EU AI Act) clear all.

Mobley v. Workday, Inc.
Mobley v. Workday (US AI-hiring class action)
N.D. Cal. · No. 3:23-cv-00770
Enforcer: Private civil class action; EEOC amicus participation
Target: Workday Inc.
Violation alleged: Workday's algorithmic hiring tools allegedly screened out applicants on disability, age, and race. Class action seeks to certify Workday as an 'employment agency' under Title VII so disparate-impact theory applies to the algorithm's outputs rather than only its developers.
Lesson: First major US AI-hiring class action with EEOC amicus support. If Workday is certified as an 'employment agency', US sectoral approach (EEOC + Title VII) substantially expands AI-hiring liability without requiring an AI statute. This is the load-bearing test of whether US 'principles + ex-post liability' approach can substitute for EU AIA Annex III §4 (high-risk employment AI obligations).

Editorial scope
This timeline reflects enforcement cases tracked in the Policy Window catalog. It is not exhaustive; coverage focuses on high-precedent matters relevant to the catalogued instruments (currently 13 cases across EU, US, UK, China, India, Italy, France). The catalog deliberately omits routine regulator letters and ongoing investigations whose materials are not public.
For the inclusion rubric (when a case enters the catalog, what level of source-defensibility is required, how jurisdictional balance is managed), see /wiki/methodology. Cases marked “ongoing” remain editorial-watch items; outcomes get backfilled as the public record settles.
