On Sept. 29, 2016, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the approval of an updated Form EEO-1. The new EEO-1 form adds new fields to the form that is currently in use and will require certain employers to report summary pay information to the EEOC.
The EEOC and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) will use this information to enforce prohibitions against employment discrimination and pay practices.
Employers must comply with reporting requirements when they submit information for the 2017 calendar year. The new reports will be due by March 31, 2018.
