Employers Face Sept. 30 Deadline to Submit Pay Data

An important Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) deadline is quickly approaching. Due to an Obama-era regulation, employers with 100 or more employees must submit EEO-1 Component 2 pay data for 2017 and 2018. The report is due no later than Monday, Sept. 30.

Earlier this year, certain employers were required to file EEO-1 Component 1 data listing employees by job category, race, ethnicity, and gender. Component 2 asks for employees’ hours worked and pay information from their W‑2 forms, broken down into the same categories.
