As we
previously reported, U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia Judge Tanya S. Chutkan ordered the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to collect two years of EEO-1
Component 2 pay data including 2018 and pay data from either 2017
or 2019. On May 1, 2019, the EEOC chose to collect 2017 pay data in
addition to the 2018 pay data collection previously announced.
According to the EEOC, employers must file this data by September
30, 2019. The announcement regarding 2017 pay data is expected to
be published in the Federal Register on May 3, 2019.
Practically speaking, the EEOC's announcement means that
employers will need to gather 2017 and 2018 pay data for filing.
The EEOC stated that it expects to begin collecting the 2017 and
2018 Component 2 data in mid-July 2019. As of this writing, the
EEOC had not yet notified filers of the precise date the Component
2 data survey will open.
