On Feb. 1, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced plans to require certain large employers to include “data on employees’ W-2 earnings and hours worked” as part of their annual Employer Information Report (better known as an EEO-1). While the proposals are open for public comment until April 1 and may be modified before implementation, it is a safe bet that large employers (specifically, those with 100 or more employees) will face these additional reporting requirements as early as September 2017. Employers are thus advised to begin preparing now.
“Component 2″ of the EEO-1 report would collect data on wages and hours worked.
Under authority granted by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the EEOC has, since 1966, required certain employers (namely, government contractors with more than 50 employees and private sector employers with more than 100 employees) to file an EEO-1 Report each year. For decades, these EEO-1 Reports have gathered demographic data of the reporting employer’s workforce, covering seven race and ethnicity categories and ten job classifications, sorted by gender. The EEOC’s proposed rule would, as of the September 2017 reporting cycle, require these employers to include data on their employees’ wages and hours worked.
