The EEO-1 reporting deadline has become a moving target, so covered employers must sharpen their data collection and be ready to upload. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently announced that the collection window will open in “mid-July” 2023, not April, as initially scheduled.
Covered employers should expect to have the same amount of time (about one month) to upload or file their 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data through the EEOC’s website before the window closes. Despite the postponement of the deadline, employers should do what they can now to prepare for submission.
The EEOC and the U.S. Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) regulations require eligible employers to file Standard Form 100 (EEO-1 reports) annually through EEOC’s dedicated EEO-1 Component 1 data collection website.
The purpose of collecting the data is to support enforcement actions, facilitate research employment patterns, and encourage self-assessment by employers, according to the EEOC. Some companies voluntarily go further and publicly release their demographic information to support their diversity efforts or improve accountability. Join us this June to learn how to file the EEO-1 reports in 2023.
