EEOC announces EEO-1 data collection to open April 26th

April 22, 2021 By Nancy Cleveland

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made the long-awaited announcement that this year’s EEO-1 collection would open on April 26, 2021, and close on July 19, 2021.

Employers with at least 100 employees, and federal contractors with at least 50 employees, are obligated to file the EEO-1.

Employers should be ready to file their data within the 12-week window once the collection opens.  As employers begin to prepare their filings, it will be important for them to be aware of what is in this year’s collection and, perhaps more important, what will not.

Deadline looms for expanded EEO-1 filing

August 15, 2019 By Nancy Cleveland

For US employers with 100 or more employees, extensive new information relating to their prior EEO-1 filings must be submitted by September 30, 2019.  Specifically, in addition to categorizing employees by race/ethnicity, gender and job type, employers are now required to assemble and submit, with respect to each subcategory, aggregated employee data regarding compensation and annualized hours worked.  Assembling the required data may be much more complicated than many employers are expecting, so it is important to begin planning now.

What is the EEO-1?

For many years, the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has required employers with 100+ employees to complete and file an EEO-1 form annually.  The EEO-1 was essentially a relatively simple demographic snapshot of the employer’s workforce, capturing the number of employees in each of several job categories by gender and by race/ethnicity.  The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) also has long required the EEO-1 for federal government contractors with at least 50 employees.

What is different this year?

Late in the Obama administration, the EEOC and OFCCP issued rules requiring employers to start providing additional information regarding compensation groupings and hours worked for each of the existing job, gender and race categories.  Before these rules were fully implemented, however, the Trump administration’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) halted the rules, asserting that the revisions were overly burdensome and created privacy concerns.  Private organizations, in turn, challenged the OMB action, and in March 2019, a federal court ordered the EEOC to move forward with collecting the new compensation and hours data (collectively referred to as “Component 2” data).  Following further court hearings, the EEOC established September 30, 2019, as the new deadline for submission of the data.

Who needs to worry about this?

Only employers with 100 or more employees need to submit the new Component 2 data.  (Most federal contractors with 50 to 99 employees still must submit the Component 1 data annually, but need not submit the Component 2 data.)

The 100-employee benchmark is not based on a particular establishment, but on the employer’s workforce as a whole.  All full-time and part-time employees must be counted for purposes of determining whether the employer meets the 100-employee threshold.  The 100-employee benchmark is determined by the number of employees as of the years 2017 and 2018, not the current number of employee.

Employers required to file EEO-1 reports by Mar. 31st — Does this apply to you?

March 16, 2018 By Nancy Cleveland

Private employers with 100 employees or more and federal contractors with 50 employees or more and $50,000 in contract(s) are required to submit and certify an EEO-1 Report with the Joint Reporting Committee, comprised of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), not later than March 31, 2018.

The EEO-1 Report collects data on the race, ethnicity, and sex of workers, by job category.  The employment data used for the 2017 EEO-1 report should be collected using a payroll period in October, November, or December 2017, the fourth quarter of calendar year 2017.  This payroll period is what the EEOC refers to as the 2017 “workforce snapshot period.”

Employers submit EEO-1 reports via the EEO-1 Online Filing System on the EEOC’s website or will utilize this portal to electronically transmit a data file containing the EEO-1 data.  This website is accessible at: https://www.eeoc.gov/employers/eeo1survey/index.cfm.

Questions about this requirement and the process may be submitted via email to: eeo1.suggestionbox@eeoc.gov.

The EEOC had planned to collect additional information this year, including aggregate W-2 pay and hours-worked data.  However, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) stayed the additional requirements pending OMB’s review.
