As a follow-up to our
April 4, 2019, article, we wanted to provide you with the
latest update on the status of the pay data requirement for
2018-EEO-1 reports. On April 16, 2019, the U.S. District Court for
the District of Columbia held a hearing on the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) proposal to collect pay data by
September 30, 2019, using a third-party contractor, and the
plaintiff's response that the EEOC should be forced to collect
2017 and 2018 pay data by May 31, 2019.
Here are some of the highlights of the hearing:
- S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said
she did not understand why the EEOC decided to remove instructions
for employers on submitting so-called Component 2 pay data for 2018
as part of their annual employer information, or EEO-1,
reports.
