In its latest update to its supervising court, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on May 24 detailed plans to coordinate the collection of EEO-1 Pay Data (Component 2 of the annual report) with NORC at the University of Chicago, which describes itself as “an objective non-partisan research institution that delivers reliable data and rigorous analysis to guide critical programmatic, business, and policy decisions.”
NORC, according to the report, is currently staffing up to establish a help desk for the pay data collection process, which is expected to be fully operational by June 17. In preparation for that, the EEOC also promised to provide further details on the collection process itself and on accessing the help desk by June 3.
The online portal for submitting the pay data is expected to be operational by July 15, according to the update.
Businesses with at least 100 employees and federal contractors with at least 50 employees and a contract of $50,000 or more with the federal government must file the EEO-1 form. Component 1 is due by March 31, and Component 2 pay data for 2017 and 2018 is due by Sept. 30, 2019.
