Are you prepared to file your company 2016 EEO-1 Report? Are you ready for the proposed changes to the report in 2017?

The Employer Information Report (EEO-1) is an annual report mandated by the government which asks private employers and Federal Contractors to identify how many employees are currently staffed within their organization. Employers must provide the employee count by specified job category for both race/ethnicity and gender.

The annual EEO-1 filing cycle officially began July 1^st. Companies who are required to file may choose any pay period between July 1^st and September 30^th to report on their workforce population. Now that the EEOC has gone fully electronic, you don’t want to miss some interesting developments in your reporting process as well as some helpful information specific to this reporting cycle.

In just 90 minutes, you'll also learn effective strategies to limit your organization's risk and you'll get expert advice on how to avoid errors or omissions that could expose your organization to major liabilities. You will learn the EEO-1 reporting requirements as well as practical, easy to use approaches to completing and submitting the EEO-1 report by the filing deadline — September 30, 2016. Yes, that’s a Friday this year.

And there’s more! Federal agencies are now better funded, and more motivated than ever to aggressively enforce systematic discrimination rules. In fact, pay equity is now a central focus for both Federal and state agencies as evidenced in the dramatic increase in audits. How are the EEO-1 and pay discrimination linked?  Well join us as we discuss how the EEOC recently announced dramatic changes to the EEO-1 Report, which would require that all employers annually submit compensation data to the EEOC in 2017.  We will also talk about the proposal to change filing deadlines, the reporting of pay data, and overall impact on employers.
