Can you please add an additional code to the EEO gender codes: Non-binary?

I know it isn't an official EEO code but in 2018 it is the right thing to do. We need to give an option for all people to identify. 

Thanks,

Allison

    Hi Allison,

    While agree with you ... this information is voluntary - and collected strictly for the compliance needs (EEO and OFCCP).  The values we have inserted ensure compliance and we're afraid that adding non-approved values would make employers be out-of-compliance, which in some cases could result in very hefty fines.

    It seems to us that, unfortunately this is likely something that needs to be legislated with the US government first - and then we can update how things work.  If there is a petition or group to support, we'd be happy to do that... or, if the law changes, please do let us know!
