Many employers have long been required to file certain workforce demographics data with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) by submitting a survey known as the EEO-1 report. This requirement applies to all businesses with at least 100 employees, as well as federal government prime contractors and first-tier subcontractors with contracts of $50,000 or more. Employers whose workforces have fluctuated above and below 100 employees can determine their eligibility by choosing a “snapshot period” between October 1 and December 31 of the reporting year.

Following an Obama-era regulatory update that went into effect this year, the EEO-1 report now comprises two components, each with their own filing deadline. Component 1, which covers demographic information (i.e. each employee’s race/ethnicity, gender, and job category) and has long been a requirement, was due on May 31. Component 2, which covers hour and wage data and which is a brand new requirement applies to employers with at least 100 employees, must be filed by September 30.

The EEOC’s Component 2 EEO-1 Online Filing System went live earlier this month. Employers can use this online portal to complete their new Component 2 reporting requirements.

If you have questions about the EEO-1 report or need assistance gathering and filing the required data, speak to your legal advisor as soon as possible. For help with this or any labor and employment issue, don’t hesitate to contact me.
