iden Releases American Families Plan. This week, the White House released an outline of its American Families Plan, which is being touted as the second phase of the administration’s infrastructure proposal (dubbed the “American Jobs Plan”). The American Families Plan would invest $1.8 trillion in education (including training for teachers), federal nutrition programs, childcare, and extending tax credits.

Here are some of its highlights:
Education. The administration proposes allotting $309 billion to fund free universal pre-school for three and four year olds, and two years of free community college.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on April 26, 2021, that the
2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection is now open after being delayed in May of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See our prior post addressing the
anticipated open date. The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory annual data collection that 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 race/ethnicity, sex and job categories.
The deadline for submitting 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data is Monday, July 19, 2021. The EEOC is providing employers additional time to file, extending the data collection period this year from 10 weeks to 12 weeks, but employers should start preparing now in anticipation of the July 19 filing deadline.

Though often lauded as a medical miracle, vaccinations have
joined the ranks of staunchly polarizing topics. Complicating
matters of polite avoidance, the objective of vaccines, to
eradicate disease, sits squarely in the crossfires of a public
interest versus personal autonomy balancing act. As two COVID-19
vaccines have been given emergency use authorization, employers now
find themselves facing the daunting task of resolving yay or nay on
requiring mandatory employee vaccinations, and if the former, how
to create said policy. This article discusses the history of
