In the News: Sasha Thaler Published in HR Daily Advisor on Missed Massachusetts EEO Reporting Deadlines

Constangy partner Sasha Thaler authored an article published in HR Daily Advisor, discussing the implications for Massachusetts employers who missed the state’s recent workforce data reporting deadline under the Commonwealth’s pay transparency law. Employers with 100 or more employees in Massachusetts and subject to federal EEO reporting obligations must submit copies of their most recent EEO reports to the state annually through an online portal.

Sasha explains that the deadline for the 2026 reporting cycle was February 2, 2026, and emphasizes that the requirement stems from Massachusetts’ Salary Range Transparency Act, enacted in 2024 to increase pay transparency and allow the state to publish aggregated workforce data.

The article outlines steps employers should take if they failed to meet the deadline, including assessing whether they qualify as a covered employer, determining which EEO report applies (such as EEO-1, EEO-3, EEO-4, or EEO-5), and submitting the required report through the state portal as soon as possible to mitigate potential compliance risks.
