The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced its intention to extend the information collection requirements related to the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures for another three years without changes. This extension is aimed at helping employers comply with federal equal employment opportunity laws by ensuring they collect and retain data on job applicants' gender, race, and ethnicity. The information is crucial for identifying and addressing any barriers to equal employment opportunities. Comments on this notice are invited until February 5, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to keep collecting information about job applicants' gender, race, and ethnicity to help ensure everyone gets a fair chance at jobs. But some parts of their plan don't explain clearly whether the benefits of doing this are worth all the time and money it takes.
