Month: September 2017

Uh EEO-1! The Due Date Changed!

The Employer Information Report EEO-1 deadline shifted

Instead of a fiscal end-of-year due date, organizations now have until March 31, 2018 to submit and certify the EEO-1 report. The 2017 report will collect race, ethnicity, and gender data by job category. It will not collect the hours worked and pay data.

Employers may use payroll data from October, November, or December in the report. Make a note in your calendars,  and be prepared to get a mail reminder two months before the due date.

Nervous about TDR? Drop Out or Don’t Even Join the Pilot!

Transactional Data Reporting now voluntary for contractors

Any contractor that has received multiple-award schedule contracts and special item numbers can now opt out of participating in the TDR pilot. To remind you, the TDR rule allows the agency to collect transactional-level data, which informs buying strategies and purchases.

Mary Davie, acting deputy commissioner of FAS explains that “GSA is altering TDR’s implementation to give new offerers and contractors approaching an option period the choice to adopt TDR….” For those contractors who were previously required to accept TDR, GSA is extending them the option to execute a one-time reverse modification to undo this action and work with their contracting officer to revert back to operating under the structure and tracking requirements of the price reduction clause.

Jack St. John, GSA chief of staff, said the modification of the TDR rule supports agency efforts to transition the current administration’s priorities into acquisition policies.

GSA Interact published the full announcement and further information. If you’d like assistance in reversing your TDR option, contact us at 301-913-5000 or mbotello@ezgsa.com.
