As required, EEOC has filed its scheduled update with the Court regarding the progress of collection of the new EEO-1 Component 2 pay data report.

The report is brief, but notes EEOC is still on schedule to allow a data file upload function and validation process as an additional method of reporting no later than August 15, 2019.

The Agency also reports is it scheduled to send out “reminder” notices and e-mails to filers with login information a various times throughout August.

Finally, EEOC reports it is still “finalizing its analysis of the response rates for EEO-1 data submitted over the last four years to be used to assess whether the EEOC is ‘on track’ to ‘complete’ the Component 2 data collection by September 30, 2019.

EEOC reports it “cannot begin to project what percentage of employers will submit Component 2 data by September 30, 2019” and will not be able to do so until at least a significant percentage of employers have completed the report.  EEOC did confirm some employers have started submitting the Component 2 reports.
