To the relief of employers steeling themselves for compliance with the revised EEO-1 Report, the Office of Management and Budget’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) has suspended indefinitely the new report’s compliance date. The revised report would have required private-sector employers with 100 or more employees and covered federal contractors to provide information on employee compensation and hours worked in addition to demographic information. The new requirements would have applied to EEO-1 Reports for 2017, which would have been due by March 31, 2018.
In a statement issued on August 29, 2017, the Acting Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Victoria Lipnic, announced she had received a memo from the OIRA Administrator, Neomi Rao, informing her that OIRA was initiating a review and immediate stay of the effectiveness of the pay data collection aspects of the EEO-1 form that was revised on September 29, 2016, in accordance with its authority under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
