(From Lexology) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has updated its guidance to address how employers can report nonbinary employees on the annual EEO-1 report. Before the EEOC’s guidance updates, employers didn’t have a way to report nonbinary workers on the EEO-1 form, which only allows for an employee to be categorized as male or female. While employers were allowed to submit other gender-identifying documents or visual identification for employees, this has often left employers feeling uncertain how to proceed. The EEOC has recognized this matter by allowing employers to account for nonbinary identifying employees in the comment box on the Certification Page and to preface it with “Additional Employee Data.”
