The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced the opening today of the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection due Dec. 5, 2023. To meet this deadline, the EEOC strongly encourages eligible filers to begin the filing process as soon as possible. The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory EEOC annual data collection requiring all private sector employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, to submit workforce demographic data including data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity. The EEOC’s Office of Enterprise Data and Analytics (OEDA), which administers the agency’s EEO data collections, continues to modernize the agency’s data collections and improve the quality of data collected. For the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, OEDA released a new EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet to better meet the needs of filers. This booklet consolidates existing support materials, including frequently asked questions and fact sheets into a single resource for filers and provides additional information to clarify eligibility and reporting requirements.
