The Component 1 Employer Information (EEO-1) reporting season for 2022 will not begin until sometime this fall, according to an announcement from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The annual EEO-1 filing season normally occurs during the second quarter, but the EEOC is delaying it while it awaits approval from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to continue using the EEO-1 Report, with modest changes.
The EEO-1 Report is a mandatory annual federal reporting requirement that provides a snapshot of a company’s workforce by race, ethnicity, sex, and job category. The EEOC is not requesting any changes to the EEO-1’s race, ethnicity, sex, or job categories.
The version of the EEO-1 that EEOC submitted for OMB’s approval on May 2, 2023, contains a minor change that would eliminate any distinction between the types of reports to be filed based on an establishment’s size. In essence, the EEOC wants all locations except corporate headquarters to be reported on a new Establishment Level report rather than on Type 4 and Type 8 Reports.
