COURSE DESCRIPTION: For the first time in four decades The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has changed the EEO-1 employer reporting requirements. The new rules are in effect now and must be addressed before your next report is due in September.
The revisions cover a lot of ground, including new ethnic and racial categories, new job classifications for managers and supervisors and new guidelines for collecting certain types of data. This isn’t a change you can implement overnight. The time to act is NOW! Mistakes or oversights in preparing your filing could have significant consequences.
To help you navigate these changes, Business 21 has arranged an audio conference/webinar program with legal expert Karen Tyner of Ford & Harrison LLP. She’ll give you the facts you need to get it done efficiently, correctly and legally.
The program will cover:
-
An update on how to properly – and legally – prepare your filing
-
Deadlines for surveying employees – what needs to get done and by when
-
Who must file and who’s exempt
-
How the new EEO-1 report breaks down ethnic and racial categories
-
What you need to know about the revised job classifications for managers and supervisors
-
The impact the new requirements have on Affirmative Action obligations
-
How to collect race/ethnic data the right way
-
What you need to know about confidentiality and safeguarding of EEO-1 data
-
What are the penalties for getting it wrong … and how to avoid the traps
