Due to the continuing impact of COVID-19 on business operations, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission extended the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection filing deadline to Oct. 25, 2021. The deadline was previously extended from July 19 to Aug. 23. The EEOC indicated that the new deadline is final, and all eligible filers must submit data by this date. The EEOC encourages eligible employers to file the required EEO-1 Component 1 report(s) as soon as possible.
According to the EEO-1 Component 1 website, 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 demographic workforce data, including data by race/ethnicity, sex and job categories. Resources to assist filers with their submissions are available at eeocdata.org/eeo1.
