Today, at the National Industry Liaison Group’s annual conference, EEOC Commissioner Victoria Lipnic put employers hopes of not having to file Component 2 data by September 30, 2019 to rest.
Speaking to the conference participants, Commissioner Lipnic recognized the burden the court’s ruling has imposed on employers, but made clear that “nothing will stop” employers’ obligation to submit Component 2 data by September 30. Commissioner Lipnic did state that after the data is submitted, the EEOC should conduct an “honest assessment of what we learn from the data” in an “open process,” that includes an assessment of the true burden the submission places on employers.
As a result, any employers that have been postponing their Component 2 preparations hoping for a last-minute reprieve, should begin those preparations in earnest. THOMAS HOUSTON can assist you with this required filing!
