Massachusetts EEO-1 workforce data report due to the state

Takes effect February 1, 2027By WorkblissUpdated October 19, 2026

What’s happening

Employers with 100 or more Massachusetts employees that file EEO-1 reports with the EEOC must also file them with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth under the state's pay transparency law. The two-day cure period for defective filings ended Oct 29, 2026, and penalties escalate from a warning to fines of up to $500 and then $1,000.

What to do

Submit your most recent EEO-1 through the state portal by February 1 and check that Massachusetts job postings include pay ranges.
