The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) mandates that private employers with 100 or more employees during any pay period in the fourth quarter of 2023 (October 1 – December 31) and federal contractors with 50 or more employees are obligated to file an EEO-1 Component 1 report.
The filing period for the 2023 EEO-1 Data Collection will commence on April 30, 2024, with a submission deadline of June 4, 2024. This report plays a crucial role in collecting demographic data on employees, such as race/ethnicity, sex, and job category, facilitating the EEOC’s enforcement of federal anti-discrimination laws.
Failure to submit a comprehensive and accurate EEO-1 report can result in penalties.
Next Steps
To ensure compliance, employers should proactively begin gathering the necessary data early and carefully review the EEOC website and instructions before submitting their report. Employers should also consult the official resources provided by the EEOC for accurate and up-to-date information regarding the EEO-1 Component 1 report and compliance requirements.
For additional assistance with filing, the EEO-1 Component 1 online Filer Support Message Center will be accessible on April 30th to address any questions filers may have regarding the data collection.
