In this article, we delve into five critical compliance updates that demand your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-eeo-1-filing\"><strong>1.\u00a0EEO-1 Filing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deadline for filing EEO-1 reports has been extended to Fall 2023 by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. This annual data collection requires all private sector employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, to submit demographic workforce data, including data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity, to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eeoc.gov\/data\/eeo-1-data-collection\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">EEOC<\/mark><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.\u00a0AI Discrimination<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The EEOC warns employers about possible AI-based discrimination in hiring and workplace decisions. A tutoring company paid $365,000 to settle a lawsuit accusing them of using application review software to reject older female and male applicants. Employers should be careful when setting up automated processes and regularly check the results to avoid unfair rejections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-religious-accommodations\"><strong>3.\u00a0Religious Accommodations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. Supreme Court announced that employers that deny religious accommodations need to demonstrate that the cost increase associated with granting the accommodation would be significantly burdensome in relation to their specific business conduct. Companies should consider this new policy when addressing employee requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.\u00a0Discrimination and Title VII<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent decision by the 5th Circuit\u00a0has broadened the standard for discrimination claims to include any &#8220;terms, conditions, or privileges of employment.&#8221; This means that employees now have a greater ability to bring discrimination claims against their employers. Companies should take note of this decision and review their policies to ensure that they are not engaging in unfair discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ada-commuting\"><strong>5.\u00a0ADA\/Commuting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A recent case\u00a0saw the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that employees with disabilities may be eligible for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/odep\/program-areas\/employers\/accommodations#:~:text=Under%20Title%20I%20of%20the,done%20during%20the%20hiring%20process.\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">ADA accommodation<\/mark><\/a> to assist them in getting to work when attendance in the workplace is essential and the accommodation is reasonable. The court examined the responsibilities of both the employer and employee in the specific case, but the ruling also has implications for employers who consider workplace attendance an essential job function in the wake of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Get in <a href=\"https:\/\/pbspay.com\/contact-us\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">touch<\/mark><\/a>!
