Trump Administration Postpones Revised Form EEO-1 Pay Reporting Requirements

According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), the White House Office of Management and Budget ("OMB") has delayed the effective date of the revised Form EEO-1 and initiated a review to determine the appropriateness of the revisions under the Paperwork Reduction Act ("PRA"). 

An OMB memorandum sent to the EEOC on August 29, 2017, stated that "the OMB is concerned that some aspects of the revised collection of information lack practical utility, are unnecessarily burdensome, and do not adequately address privacy and confidentiality issues."

The revised Form EEO-1 expanded pay data reporting requirements for employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees. In addition to reporting the number of employees by race, ethnicity, and sex, employers would also have to report the W-2 wage/salary information for each employee in the same manner.
