Equal pay and EEO-1 reports made headlines last Friday as the EEOC and the White House celebrated the
7th anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Act. The EEOC announced a proposed new requirement for federal contractors and employers with more than 100 employees, who will have to provide
compensation information on their annual EEO-1 form beginning in September 2017 if the proposal is approved by the federal Office of Management and Budget. The inclusion of wage information in the EEO-1 is intended to give the EEOC and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs information about wage disparities within organizations and across industries. EEOC Commissioner Yang commented that the data will “
help employers evaluate their own pay practices[.]”
