HR Newsletter: EEO-1 Reporting

HR Newsletter: EEO-1 Reporting

The EEO-1 Report is a federally mandated survey that collects workforce data categorized by race, ethnicity, sex, and job category. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (Title VII), employers with 100 or more employees and certain federal contractors must report this data to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by March 31 every year.

However, the collection of this data from 2022 has been delayed. The EEOC expects to open the portal for employers to begin entering 2022 information on Oct. 31, 2023. The deadline for employers to complete their submissions of 2022 information is Dec. 5, 2023.

EEO-1 reporting for the previous three years was delayed as well. In 2017 and 2018, employers subject to EEO-1 reporting were required to submit additional information about employee pay and work hours (known as “Component 2” data). Those additional requirements were discontinued due to court challenges, but the EEOC has indicated that they may be reinstated in future years. 

EMPLOYERS SUBJECT TO EEO-1 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

  • A private employer that has 100 or more employees (with limited exceptions for schools and other organizations);
  • A private employer with between 15 and 99 employees, if it is part of a group of employers that legally constitutes a single enterprise, which employs a total of 100 or more employees; and
  • A federal contractor that has 50 or more employees and is either a prime contractor or first-tier subcontractor, and has a contract, subcontract, or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more.

As covered under our standard service model, Employco provides its clients with comprehensive EEO-1 reporting assistance, including payroll and HR system reporting, employee demographic corrections, and Online Filing System (OFS) guidance.
