The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced a proposal that would revise the Employer Information Report (EEO-1). The new report would require all employers with 100 or more employees to submit compensation data and hours worked in addition to racial, ethnic and gender status data that is currently required by the federal government. The new form would also apply to federal contractors with more than 100 employees, and, if implemented, will replace the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program’s (OFCCP) proposed Equal Pay Report for federal contractors.
According to the EEOC’s website, the new data required by the report “would provide the EEOC and OFCCP with insight into pay disparities across industries and occupations and strengthen federal efforts to combat discrimination.” A copy of the proposal is available in the Federal Register. AGC is preparing to submit comments on the proposed changes before the April 1 deadline.
