EEOC Issues Revised Proposal to Amend EEO-1 Report

 
“On July 13, 2016, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) announced the publication of a revised proposal (“Revised Proposal”) that would amend the Equal Employer Information Report (“EEO-1 report”) to require, beginning in 2017, federal contractors and private employers with at least 100 employees to include pay and hours worked data by sex and race/ethnicity, grouped by job category. Public comments to the Revised Proposal are due by August 15, 2016.

The Initial Proposal

Since 1966, federal contractors and private employers with at least 100 employees have submitted yearly data to the EEOC listing each employee’s sex and race/ethnicity, grouped by job category. Spurred by a desire to address what it views as persistent pay gaps associated with sex and race/ethnicity and strengthen federal efforts to combat discrimination, on February 1, 2016, the EEOC published proposed rules (“Initial Proposal”) that would expand the EEO-1 report by requiring government contractors and employers with at least 100 employees to report pay and hours worked data for each employee, in addition to the categories already included within the EEO-1 report.”
