On September 11, 2019, the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) announced that it would not seek
approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to collect
detailed employee compensation data on its Form EEO-1 next year.
The current requirement that employers submit compensation data for
calendar years 2017 and 2018 by September 30, 2019, remains
unchanged.
In its announcement, the agency indicated that for
calendar years 2019, 2020, and 2021, it would seek approval from
OMB to collect only workforce demographic information (what is
currently known as Component 1 of the expanded EEO-1). The agency
has collected that information in some form or fashion since
1966.
