EEO-1 Report - Major Changes Proposed top ^
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has proposed several changes to the EEO-1 Report (Standard Form 100). Included in the changes is an expanded list of race/ethnicity categories (Hispanic of any race(s) or Non-Hispanic White, Black, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and American Indian or Alaska Native) and a separate category of employees who have identified as being in multiple race categories. The proposed changes also include a rearrangement of and addition to the EEO-1 job categories. Information on the specific changes can be found on the EEOC website at www.eeoc.gov/eeo1. Maly & Associates will submit comments to the EEOC on the proposed changes before the August 11 deadline and welcome any comments from our clients and associates. Any change in the EEO-1 race/ethnicity and job categories will not occur until at least 2004.

EEO-1 Report Electronic Reporting Changed top ^
The Joint Reporting Committee website has changed and, according to the EEOC, a new web-based filing system will replace the interactive diskette. Unfortunately, the EEOC will not publicly release further information on the 2003 EEO-1 reporting system until July 15 (www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey). We will let you know as soon as information becomes available.

EO Survey Used to Schedule Compliance Reviews top ^
In an effort to determine how they will utilize the EO Survey, the OFCCP will be scheduling compliance reviews with approximately 2,000 of the respondents to the 2002 EO Survey. The contractors scheduled for review will be randomly selected from the approximately 10,000 contractors who were sent the EO Survey at the end of last year. This may mean, given the OFCCP's limited resources, that those contractors who did not receive a survey will be less likely to receive a compliance review in the second half of this year.

VETS-100 Report to Remain the Same in 2003 top ^
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has approved the VETS-100 Report in its current (2002) format for use in 2003. Therefore, the Newly Separated Veterans category will remain optional in 2003. In related news, the Veterans' Employment and Training advisory committee has recommended that the VETS-100 reporting requirement be discontinued. However, if the VETS-100 report is continued, we can expect several changes to the category definitions and the requirements for participation (see the 2002 Jobs for Veterans Act at www.nvti.cudenver.edu/107_288/Main.htm) in the next few years. As with all proposed and anticipated changes, we recommend that contractors wait until the requirements are finalized before making any system or procedure changes.
