The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that the new deadline for employers to submit and certify their 2021 Employer Information (EEO-1) Component 1 has been extended. Employers who missed the original deadline of May 17th, 2022, now have until June 21st, 2022, to submit their 2021 EEO-1 reports.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information. Most types of work situations like firing, hiring, promoting, harassment, training, etc., are included under this law. The EEOC investigates any case related to discrimination against an employer who is covered under the law.
EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection
The EEO-Component 1 report is a mandatory collection of data that all private sector companies with over 100 employees and federal contractors with over 50 employees are required to submit annually. These businesses must submit demographic workforce data such as race/ethnicity, sex, and job categories of each individual.
