A Washington, D.C. federal district court judge in National Women’s Law Center v. OMB recently stated that the previously revised EEO-1 report, including employee pay data, is the form employers should be using to submit their required Employer Information Report. In 2016, the EEOC proposed changes to its employer data collection requirements to add 12 pay bands for the 10 job categories that are tracked in EEO-1 reporting. After proposed revisions, the rule was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the revised EEO-1 form was issued. However, following the 2016 presidential election, the OMB directed the EEOC to issue a stay of the form’s release, which it did, and the EEOC subsequently removed the revised EEO-1 form from its website.
