President Trump appoints Lipnic as acting chair of the EEOC (the National Law Review)

January 26, 2017

President Trump appointed Victoria Lipnic to serve as the acting chair of the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, The National Law Review reports. Appointment of the new acting chair raises questions regarding whether the revised annual Employer Information Report (EEO-1) is here to stay. As recently as September, the EEOC officially announced that, starting in March 2018, it would start collecting summary employee pay data and total hours worked information from employers with 100 or more employees. If the new reporting requirements go into effect as planned, their implementation would mark the first time pay information would be reported on the EEO-1 filing. Whether or not this controversial new data collection tool will take effect will depend on the course of Lipnic’s efforts as the acting EEOC chair.
