Yesterday, US District Judge Tanya Chutkan held a hearing on the
pay data component of the EEO-1 form ("Component 2"). In
March, Judge Chutkan
lifted the stay on collection of Component 2 data that had been
imposed by the Office of Management and Budget, leading to much
uncertainty about when employers would be expected to submit the
data to the EEOC.
The EEOC states that it could, at
considerable expense, establish a portal to collect the data so
that the data could be collected by September 30. Workers'
rights groups are advocating for a May 31 deadline.
Yesterday's hearing produced no clarity for employers. Judge
Chutkan indicated that she would issue a ruling in the near future.
We will continue to monitor developments and update our readers on
this story.
