In an announcement posted on the EEO-1 reporting website, EEOC reiterated the \u201ctentatively scheduled\u201d opening of the 2021 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection portal to be April 12, 2022 with the deadline for filing to be May 17, 2022, just 6 weeks later.\u00a0\u00a0 No explanation was provided for the shortened reporting window.\u00a0 However, the reporting deadline has been subject to limited extension in past years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 The EEOC\u2019s announcement indicates that both dates are \u201ctentative\u201d and EEO-1 opening and closing dates have been subject to modification by EEOC in recent years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In addition to providing the update on the portal opening and reporting deadline, the most recent update announced EEOC\u2019s discontinuation of the Type 6 Establishment Report for employers who have establishments with fewer than 50 employees.\u00a0 Instead, employers will now be required to use the Type 8 report.\u00a0 Citing the Agency\u2019s continuing efforts of \u201cmodernization\u201d and work to improve the quality of data.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

EEOC has already announced one change for the 2021 report.\u00a0 EEOC will discontinue the EEO-1 Component 1 Type 6 Establishment List Report for establishments with fewer than 50 employees.\u00a0 These establishments must now use the Type 8 Establishment Report for the 2021 filing cycle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why should you attend?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Covered employers are encouraged to confirm that all employees have had the opportunity to voluntarily self-identify their gender, ethnicity and race.\u00a0 If employees who 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.\u00a0 If an employer needs to rely on visual observation, it will be easier to gather this information now rather than waiting until April 2022.<\/p>\n

EEO-1 Reporting Obligation<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
