Abstract
A semigroup is called eventually regular if a power of each element is regular. Regular and group-bound semigroups are each eventually regular. A tolerance relation on an eventually regular semigroup is introduced, and Lallement's result for regular semigroups is generalized to eventually regular semigroups. Weakly compatible tolerances on semigroups are studied.
