Under amendments to the Illinois Business Corporation Act and the Illinois Equal Pay Act, certain corporations will be required, beginning in 2023 and continuing thereafter, to report data concerning the gender, race, and ethnicity makeup of their workforces, along with information about their compensation practices and efforts to comply with equal pay laws. Much of this information will become public, and failure to report the necessary information can lead to significant penalties.
EEO Data Reporting
Illinois domestic corporations and foreign corporations authorized to do business in Illinois are already required by the Illinois Business Corporation Act to file certain annual reports with the Secretary of State. Beginning with the corporation’s annual report filed on and after January 1, 2023, any such corporations which are also required to file an Employer Information Report EEO-1 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) must include with their annual report “information that is substantially similar to the employment data reported under Section D of the corporation’s EEO-1” report.
