If you are an employer with 100 or more employees or a federal contractor with at least 50 employees, then you probably already know about your requirements to file an annual EEO-1 form with the EEOC. After much legal wrangling, there is now a new section of the EEO-1 that employers MUST be aware of: Component 2. Component 2 is the newest requirement of the EEO-1 form that requires employers report pay-data based on job category, race and sex by September 30, 2019. This form has over 3,000 possible data fields which can make completion of the form exceedingly complicated and wrought with the opportunity for errors. Adding to this, employers are also required to complete Component 2/Pay-Data reporting for both 2017 and 2018. If you have questions about Component 2 and its specific requirements, please contact one of our attorneys at myHRcounsel for assistance.
