OFCCP Proposes Rule Regarding Annual Submission of Employee Compensation Data
August 14, 2014
On August 6, 2014, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (“OFCCP”) issued a proposed rule requiring covered Federal contractors and subcontractors with more than 100 employees to submit an annual Equal Pay Report on employee compensation. Prior to this proposed rule, President Obama signed a Presidential Memorandum on April 8, 2014, instructing the Secretary of Labor to propose a rule within 120 days to collect compensation data from Federal contractors and subcontractors. The Equal Pay Report applies to contractors and first-tier subcontractors who are required to file EEO-1 Reports, have more than 100 employees, and have a Federal contract, subcontract, or purchase order worth $50,000 or more that covers a period of at least 30 days. The Report requires contractors to submit:- Total number of workers within a specific EEO-1 job category by race, ethnicity, and sex;
- Total W-2 wages, defined as the total individual W-2 wages for all workers in the job category by race, ethnicity, and sex; and
- Total hours worked, defined as the number of hours worked by all employees in the job category by race, ethnicity, and sex.
