On Aug. 3, 2017, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) acting Chair Victoria Lipnic spoke to a large audience at the annual National Industry Liaison Group (NILG) Conference held in San Antonio, Texas.
Of particular interest to employers nationally was Lipnic’s thoughts on what she referred to as “the elephant in the room” — the status of the new requirement that certain employers with 100 or more employees must submit detailed compensation and hours-worked data (i.e., “Component 2” data) beginning in March 2018, in addition to race and gender information currently required with standard EEO-1 reporting. (For additional information about these burdensome new obligations, see our July 15, 2016 summary).
Key highlights from Lipnic’s speech include the following:
