On March 4, 2019, a federal judge had issued an order lifting the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) stay of the EEOC’s revised EEO-1 form requesting pay data broken down by gender and race and the September 15, 2017 Federal Register Notice (Stay the Effectiveness of the EEO-1 Pay Data Collection, 82 Fed. Reg. 43362) regarding the same.
The judge ordered “that the previous approval of the revised EEO-1 form shall be in effect” in the ruling. This will raise many time-sensitive questions for employers required to file the EEO-1 Report that must be submitted by May 31, 2019. The EEOC is set to open their EEO-1 survey platform for submissions this month. As this information is just breaking at this time, THOMAS HOUSTON will keep you updated on what the EEOC expects of employers required to file the EEO-1 survey and if the government will appeal this recent ruling.
