EEO-1 Reporting Form Requirements for 2023 and How Companies Can Be Compliant

The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory annual data collection that requires 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, to the EEOC. The authorities under which EEO-1 Component 1 data are collected include several Federal regulations that I did not list here. The 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection will open on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. The deadline to file the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 report is Tuesday, June 4, 2024. So companies have some time to get the report in.

All private employers and federal contractors meeting the eligibility requirements detailed below have a mandatory legal obligation to submit and certify annual EEO-1 Component 1 report(s) containing required workforce demographic data to the EEOC.  After the Tuesday, July 9, 2024 “Failure to File” deadline passes, no additional 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 report(s) will be accepted, and eligible employers will be out of compliance with their mandatory 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 filing obligations. According to EEOC regulation 29 CFR 1602.9, any employer “failing or refusing” to file when required to do so, may be compelled to file by order of a U.S. District Court, upon application by the Commission. Other penalties could include fines and possible disbarment.
