The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that it will open the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 Report on April 12, 2022, with a due date of May 17, 2022. The EEOC’s announcement indicates that both dates are “tentative”. Although the EEO-1 opening and closing dates have been subject to modification by EEOC in recent years, it's better to prepare for the requirements while keeping in view the current deadline.

EEOC has already announced one change for the 2021 report. EEOC will discontinue the EEO-1 Component 1 Type 6 Establishment List Report for establishments with fewer than 50 employees. These establishments must now use the Type 8 Establishment Report for the 2021 filing cycle.

EEO-1 Reporting Obligation

Businesses with 100 or more employees and some federal contractors with at least 50 employees must submit an annual EEO-1 form, which asks for information from the previous year about the number of employees who worked for the business, sorted by job category, race, ethnicity, and gender.

• Step-by-step overview of the new Online Reporting System.
• Step-by-step basics of filing the form.

Why Should You Attend:-

Covered employers are encouraged to confirm that all employees have had the opportunity to voluntarily self-identify their gender, ethnicity, and race. If employees have not responded to this voluntary invitation, employers may re-extend the invitation and/or rely on employment documents such as an I-9 or visual observation. If an employer needs to rely on visual observation, it will be easier to gather this information now rather than waiting until April 2022.
