The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has posted tentative deadlines for 2021 EEO-1 filings. Scheduled to open on April 12, 2022, the EEO-1 filing deadline is tentatively set for May 17, 2022.
The shortened collection and filing period is a significant change from previous years and represents a major change that could result in even more pressure on employers that were forced to deal with a difficult EEO-1 filing cycle in 2021 that extended late into last year.
The EEOC has provided additional fact sheets and filing resources which can be viewed on the EEOC’s EEO-1 website. California employers should also keep in mind that 2021 pay data reports are due March 31, 2022.
