The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced that it is tentatively scheduled to begin accepting EEO-1 reports for 2022 via its portal in the fall of 2023. Previously, the EEOC had expected to start the process in mid-July 2023.
The reason for the delay is that the EEOC is currently completing a mandatory, three-year renewal of the EEO-1 Component 1 data collection by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The details
The EEO-1 is an annual report through which covered employers must submit demographic workforce data, including data by race/ethnicity, sex, and job categories, to the EEOC. An EEO-1 report is required for:
- All private sector employers with 100 or more employees.
- Federal contractors with 50 or more employees and contracts of $50,000 or more.
Note: Some states, such as California and Illinois, have their own pay data reporting requirements.
Next steps
If you are covered by the EEO-1 requirement:
- Monitor the reporting portal for updates, instructions and resource materials from the EEOC.
- Prepare to submit your EEO-1 by the deadline, once announced.
