Massachusetts Workforce Data Reporting

As we kick off 2025, the Healey-Driscoll Administration wants to bring an important update to your attention and the attention of your members. You will recall, Governor Healey signed the Wage Equity legislation last year and we appreciate the engagement by the business community to make this a reality. This new law includes a data reporting requirement – an opportunity to inform your members as we work collaboratively to address wage equity in Massachusetts. Good news! Covered employers can simply file a copy of the same EEO-1 report that the employer filed with the EEOC.

Beginning this month, the Secretary of State will be launching a portal to collect completed EEO Workforce Data Reports. The Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development will then publish aggregate data in accordance with the new law by June 2025. EOLWD prepared the attached two-pager including background and answers to frequently asked questions. This information is also available on our website. The deadline for employers to file is February 3 (EOLWD will send another notification once the Secretary of State’s portal opens to collect submissions).
