These laws amend the administrative code of the&#13;<br \/>\nCity of New York and will require private employers with 200 or&#13;<br \/>\nmore employees in the City to annually report certain workforce&#13;<br \/>\ndemographic data to the City.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s Required of Employers?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/legistar.council.nyc.gov\/LegislationDetail.aspx?GUID=CDAAC0E3-EEC3-4CBA-8467-476D863BB303&amp;ID=6788483\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">New York Int.

No. 984-A<\/a>, passed on the same&#13;<br \/>\nday, provides that a designated City agency will conduct a pay&#13;<br \/>\nequity study based on the data submitted each year. By mandating&#13;<br \/>\nthis data reporting and analysis, the City aims to identify and&#13;<br \/>\naddress potential disparities in compensation related to gender,&#13;<br \/>\nrace, and ethnicity.<\/p>\n<p>New York City employers will submit this information using a&#13;<br \/>\nfillable, electronic form that the City will develop and provide.&#13;<br \/>\nWhile data may be submitted anonymously, employers will be required&#13;<br \/>\nto submit a separate, signed statement by an authorized agent&#13;<br \/>\nverifying the accuracy of the information submitted.<\/p>\n<p>The data required by New York City mirrors the data formerly&#13;<br \/>\nrequired by the federal government&#8217;s EEO-1 Component 2 from the&#13;<br \/>\n2017 and 2018 reporting years. EEO-1 Component 1 requires reporting&#13;<br \/>\nof job category, sex, and race and ethnicity data for all&#13;<br \/>\nemployees. EEO-1 Component 2 required submission of the same&#13;<br \/>\ninformation, to include detailed pay data.<\/p>\n<p>While the federal government, through the Equal Employment&#13;<br \/>\nOpportunity Commission (EEOC), still collects Component 1 data, it&#13;<br \/>\nhas since stopped collecting Component 2 data.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike the EEOC, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrlawwatch.com\/2025\/05\/29\/eeoc-eliminates-option-to-include-nonbinary-employees-in-eeo-1-reports-on-workforce-demographic-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">eliminated<\/a> the option to include nonbinary&#13;<br \/>\nemployees in EEO-1 reports this year, the City&#8217;s form is likely&#13;<br \/>\nto include an option for employers to account for different gender&#13;<br \/>\nidentities in their reporting.<\/p>\n<p>Employers who fail to comply with the law may be assessed civil&#13;<br \/>\npenalties of up to $1,000 for the first offense and $5,000 for&#13;<br \/>\nsubsequent offenses. The City will publish a list of non-compliant&#13;<br \/>\nemployers on its website.<\/p>\n<p>When Must the Data be Submitted?<\/p>\n<p>It may be months or years before employers are required to begin&#13;<br \/>\nreporting. That is, the mayor has up to one year to designate the&#13;<br \/>\nCity agency to collect the data, and that agency has up to a year&#13;<br \/>\nto develop the form to collect the data. Employers will have up to&#13;<br \/>\na year following the date the form is published to submit their&#13;<br \/>\ndata.<\/p>\n<p>What Will the City Do With the Data?<\/p>\n<p>The agency collecting the data will conduct a pay equity study&#13;<br \/>\neach year, in collaboration with the New York City Commission on&#13;<br \/>\nGender Equity and other agencies, to evaluate the data submitted by&#13;<br \/>\nemployers and evaluate whether there are pay disparities based on&#13;<br \/>\ngender, race or ethnicity in a particular industry. The agency will&#13;<br \/>\nalso identify trends in occupational segregation based on gender&#13;<br \/>\nand race or ethnicity. The agency will submit its findings to the&#13;<br \/>\nmayor and city council each year and will include recommendations&#13;<br \/>\nregarding employer action plans for addressing disparities. The&#13;<br \/>\naggregate data will be published and made available to the&#13;<br \/>\npublic.<\/p>\n<p>Employer Takeaways<\/p>\n<p>While mandatory reporting may not begin immediately, employers&#13;<br \/>\nshould begin preparing. Employers should ensure that they are&#13;<br \/>\nkeeping records of employee census data, including demographic and&#13;<br \/>\npay information. Employers may also wish to conduct their own pay&#13;<br \/>\nequity study.<\/p>\n<p>Ballard Spahr will continue to monitor developments from the&#13;<br \/>\nCity.<\/p>\n<p>The content of this article is intended to provide a general&#13;<br \/>\nguide to the subject matter.
