EEO-1 Survey Now Open; Court Orders Reinstatement of Pay Data Requirements

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has opened the following a recent court order reinstating the previously revised Obama administration EEO-1 form鈥檚 pay data reporting requirements that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) halted in 2017. The EEO-1 is an annual survey that requires all private employers with 100 or more employees and federal government contractors or first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees and a federal contract, sub颅contract or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more to file the EEO-1 report. Barring EEOC action or an appeal by the administration before the survey鈥檚 deadline鈥擬ay 31, 2019鈥攆ilers should be prepared for the pay data requirements to be included in the survey.

Due to the government shutdown, the opening of the survey was postponed and the deadline to submit EEO-1 data extended until May 31, 2019. The traditional EEO-1 report provides employment data by race/ethnicity, gender and job categories. The EEO-1 portal currently does not include 鈥淐omponent 2鈥 of the EEO-1 form that would require the additional pay data nor has the EEOC provided filers with any guidance yet.  The revised 鈥淐omponent 2鈥 of the report would require W-2 pay and FLSA hours worked information. The filing of the EEO-1 report is not voluntary and is required by federal law.

The EEOC has that they are working diligently on next steps in the wake of the court鈥檚 order and an update for filers has been ordered by Apr. 3. 

澳门六合彩开奖预测 opposed the new data collection, calling upon the Trump administration and Congress to rescind the Obama administration Presidential Memorandum ordering the new EEO-1 form, and the form itself. 澳门六合彩开奖预测 submitted comprehensive comments explaining its position to the EEOC in April and August 2016
