EEOC Hearing

The heads of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) will testify in front of the House Education and Labor’s Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Human Services.  The members of the Subcommittee may focus on EEOC’s decision not to continue collecting certain data from employers, according to a Sept. 11 notice in the Federal Register. The EEOC says the burden to collect the data—known as “Component 2" of the EEO-1 report—is higher than previously estimated, and deserves additional examination before the agency seeks White House approval for more pay reporting.
