The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection opened October 31, 2023. The deadline to submit and certify reports is December 5, 2023. To meet this deadline eligible filers are encouraged to begin the filing process as soon as possible.

The EEO-1 Component 1 report (EEO-1) is a mandatory EEOC annual data collection requiring all private sector employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, to submit workforce demographic data including data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity.

As discussed here, the EEOC has released a new EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet to better meet the needs of filers. The booklet consolidates existing support materials, including FAQ’s and fact sheets into a single resource for filers and provides additional information to clarify eligibility and reporting requirements.

The EEOC also offers filers self-service options and an online Filer Support Team Message Center. The Center allows filers to submit requests for assistance to the EEOC within the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System as well as providing update requests with new information, terminate requests, and request status tracking.

Visit the EEOC’s dedicated EEO-1 Component 1 website to access all EEO-1 resources as well as to find the latest updates and supplementary resource materials.
