The EEO-1 “Failure To File” Deadline is Fast Approaching 

As discussed here, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection opened October 31, 2023.   The deadline for submitting and certifying reports was December 5, 2023 

Employers that have not yet submitted their reports must – according to the EEOC – do so “as soon as possible, and no later than January 9, 2024 (the “Failure to File” deadline).”  

After January 9, 2024, no additional 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 reports will be accepted, and eligible employers will be out of compliance with mandatory filing obligations. 

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 workforce demographic data, including data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity, to the EEOC.

EEO-1 filing assistance, supplementary resource materials, and the Filer Support Team Message Center can be found by visiting the EEOC’s website and accessing the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System.
