New EEO-1 Report
While there is no requirement for Employers to file an EEO-1 Report during Calendar 2017, do not start celebrating too quickly. The "New and Improved" EEO-1 Reports are due by March 31, 2018 and require expanded/new reporting requirements. These new/expanded reporting requirements not only require reporting with regard to race, ethnicity, gender, etc., but also require reporting on the basis of total compensation and total hours worked by race, ethnicity, gender, EEO-1 category and designated salary bands.
