Federal Court Orders EEOC To Collect EEO-1 “Component 2” Pay and Hours- Worked Data by September 30, 2019; Many Practical Compliance Issues Still To Be Determined

Judge Tanya Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on April 25 ordered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to collect “component 2” pay and hours-worked data for Calendar Year 2018 from employers on a revised EEO-1 Report by September 30, 2019, and ordered the EEOC to notify employers of this mandate by next Monday, April 29.  

Judge Chutkan’s Order is the latest development in a lawsuit brought by employee advocacy groups challenging the Trump Administration’s decision to rescind major revisions to the EEO-1 issued by the EEOC in 2016.

Judge Chutkan’s ruling also requires covered employers to submit a second year of pay and hours-worked data – either for Calendar Year 2017, to be submitted by September 30, 2019, or for Calendar Year 2019, to be submitted in 2020 – and has given the EEOC until May 3, 2019, to determine which year of additional data to collect.
