Last year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) approved new forms and regulations for the EEO-1 employer report – the first major changes to these rules in 40 years. During the transition, employers were not required to resurvey their workers using the new EEO-1 categories - but that’s not the case for your 2008 EEO-1 report that’s due September 30, 2008.
If you have at least 100 employees (or if you’re a federal contractor with at least 50 workers), you have just a short time left to gather data on your workers and prepare the 2008 EEO-1 report for your organization. With new classification and job categories on the form, resurveying your workers and classifying them properly can be much more confusing than ever before.
Order this 90-minute audio conference recording, as our expert speaker shows you how to comply with the new EEO-1 resurveying and reporting requirements. You’ll learn the plain-English basics of the changes made last year to how your employees must be categorized, as well as the most effective strategies for collecting EEO-1 data from your employees without violating discrimination laws or exposing your organization to litigation risks. Don’t miss this chance to get your last-minute questions answered.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- What you need to know before you file the EEO-1 report that’s due September 30
- Which methods of collecting data from your workers are the most affordable (and the most legally compliant)
- The details of classifying your managers and supervisors into two distinct levels, which is now required
- The big changes made to the categorization of employees, from the new “Two or more races” category to the split in the former “Asian or Pacific Islander” category
- How to ensure that you comply with EEO-1 confidentiality rules when resurveying your workers this year
- Why your employee resurveys and your final EEO-1 report could expose you to possible fines or lawsuits – and how you can avoid these risks
- The additional compliance steps you must consider if you are a federal contractor
