Soft Deadline for Wage/Hour Data Submission?
September 30, 2019, was the deadline for employers to submit EEO-1
Component 2 wage and hour data for 2017 and 2018. Or was it? In a
status report filed with the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia on September 27, 2019, the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission stated that "[s]o long as
the Court's order is in effect stating that the collection will
not be complete until it reaches what the Court has determined to
be the target response rate," it will continue to collect
Component 2 data. The filing also notes that approximately 40
percent of eligible filers had submitted the data at that point,
which is well short of the 72 percent "target response
rate."
