Earlier this week, we shared with you that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was ordered by a federal judge to begin collecting wage data from employers who file an EEO-1 form this fall. On Thursday, the EEOC announced that, by September 30, 2019, employers will be required to submit the wage data for both 2017 and 2018. The revised EEO-1 form will now include two parts:
The EEOC is currently collecting Component 1 data, and that information must be submitted by May 31, 2019. Exactly when it will begin collecting Component 2 data is not known, but the EEOC stated that it “expects” to do so sometime in mid-July. Additional information about the new EEO-1 reporting requirements can be found at https://www.eeoc.gov/.
