Employer Alert: 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection Opens on April 30, 2024, with a filing deadline of June 4, 2024!
Each year, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) collects workforce data from employers with more than 100 employees (lower thresholds apply to federal contractors). Employers meeting the reporting thresholds have a mandatory legal obligation to provide the data to the EEOC; it is not voluntary. The data is collected using the reports as discussed below and is used for a variety of purposes including enforcement, self-assessment by employers, and research. Each of the reports collects data about gender and race/ethnicity by some type of job grouping. This information is shared with other authorized federal agencies to avoid duplicate collection of data and reduce the burden placed on employers. Although the data is confidential, aggregated data is available to the public.
The 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection (Employer Information Report) will open on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The EEO-1 Component 1 online Filer Support Message Center (i.e., filer help desk) will also be available on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, to assist filers with any questions they may have regarding the 2023 collection.
The deadline to file the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 report is Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Employers must file their information either manually or via data file upload through the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System.
All updates about the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, including the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet and the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Data File Upload Specifications, will be posted to www.eeocdata.org/eeo1 as they become available. The EEOC anticipates posting the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet and the 2023 Data File Upload Specifications by Tuesday, March 19, 2024.
