EEOC Reverts to Prior Version of EEO-1 Report for 2017

On August 29th, 2017, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) informed the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) it was initiating a review and immediate stay of the pay data collection aspects of the EEO-1 form scheduled to become part of the new EEO-1 Report.

Employers should plan to comply with the earlier approved EEO-1 (Component 1) and complete an EEO-1 Report in this fashion for 2017. The report is due on March 31, 2018.
