# [EEOC Updates System for Pay Data Reporting](https://blogs.payroll.org/pay-news-now/eeoc-updates-system-for-pay-data-reporting)

Employers have until September 30, 2019, to submit Component 2 EEO-1 pay data for calendar years 2017 and 2018. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently added an upload function to its [**Component 2 EEO-1 Online Filing System**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/) to assist in the reporting of pay data. The EEOC posts any updates on this page.

The file upload functionality is accessible after securely logging into the Component 2 EEO-1 Online Filing System via the EEOC’s LOGIN to File page. Updated file upload specifications are also [**available**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/assets/documents/Comp2EEO1UploadFileSpecification.pdf).

**Other Resources and More Help**

On July 15, the EEOC opened its web-based portal for the collection of pay data for calendar years 2017 and 2018 \[EEOC, [**Press Release**](https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/7-15-19.cfm), 7-15-19\].

The EEOC also has resources on its [**More Information to Support Filing page**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/Info) to help employers comply with the new reporting requirements, including: a [**sample form**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/assets/documents/Comp2EEO1OnlineFilingSampleForm.pdf) to collect the pay data, an [**instruction booklet**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/assets/documents/Comp2EEO1InstructionBook.pdf) for filers, and a [**fact sheet**](https://eeoccomp2.norc.org/assets/documents/Comp2EEO1FactSheetFinal.pdf).

The EEOC contracted with the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago to conduct the Component 2 EEO-1 Compensation Data Collection. Employers can contact NORC at 877-324-6214 or [**EEOCcompdata@norc.org**](mailto:EEOCcompdata@norc.org)with questions.
