HR & Payroll

Overview:

The EEO-1 reporting deadline has become a moving target, so covered employers need to 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 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 the EEOC’s dedicated website for EEO-1 Component 1 data collection.

The purpose of collecting the data is to support enforcement actions, facilitate research on employment patterns, and encourage self-assessment by employers, according to the EEOC. Some companies voluntarily go a step further and publicly release their demographic information to support their diversity efforts or improve accountability.

Why Should You Attend:

Covered employers need to be ready to file their EEO-1 reports in mid-July 2023 because the EEOC only provides approximately one month for upload of the EEO-1 Component 1 data. If a covered employer fails to timely upload its data, the EEOC has the power to seek a court order to obtain compliance. For federal contractors or subcontractors, penalties for non-compliance could include the termination of their contracts and debarment from future contracts. Making willfully false statements on EEO-1 reports is a violation of federal law which is punishable by a fine or imprisonment under the law.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has posted a second updated list of non-objectors whose EEO-1 Type 2 data the agency intends to release in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
