An Interactive Audio Conference with
Practical Compliance Strategies

It's barely a month away and counting - are you ready to file the new EEO-1 form?

Last year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) approved a new version of the EEO-1 employer report - the first major revision to this form in 40 years. Various changes to the form affect how you classify managers and supervisors and categorize the race and ethnicity of employees before your next report is due - no later than Sept. 30, 2007.

Despite the deadline bearing down, you probably still have unanswered questions. Do you know what's changed about the ways you can collect race-related data from your workers? Are you ready to comply with the EEO-1 confidentiality requirements? How does the new form affect your affirmative action obligations? What steps does the law require you to take to insure the accuracy of your report? And how much trouble are you in if you're not finished yet with surveying your workers and filling out the new form that's due next month?

A head-in-the-sand approach won't cut it. Instead, join us for a comprehensive 90-minute seminar on Aug. 31. You'll have the chance to ask questions and receive practical, hands-on advice for complying with the confusing new EEO-1 requirements. Our experienced employment law expert will share the most effective strategies for collecting EEO-1 data from your employees, conducting legal in-house surveys, if required, and complying with the reporting rules without violating the law or exposing your organization to litigation risks.

You'll learn:

• Who must file the new EEO-1 report (and the basic steps of filing it for the first time this year)
• How the ethnicity, job description, and race categories have changed on the new form
• The new ways you must classify your managers and supervisors
• Which methods of collecting data from your workers are the most affordable and legally compliant
• The potential impact of the EEO-1 revisions on your affirmative action policies
• The extra steps you should consider to comply with the EEO-1 changes if you are a federal contractor
• How to comply with the EEO-1 confidentiality rules
• How to avoid mistakes that could subject you to severe fines and penalties, or even lawsuits
• How to handle single-establishment vs. multi-establishment reporting
• Whether you should - or should not - store this collected data in your HRIS system
• What to do if an employee refuses to self-identify
• How to handle the confusion that often arises over the "Hispanic or Latino" classification
• How best to prepare if you've done nothing whatsoever up to this point
