After multiple delays, on October 31, 2023, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) announced the opening of the 2022 EEO-1 data collection portal. All employers with 100 or more employees, and federal government contractors and subcontractors (“Contractors”) with at least 50 employees and a federal government contract of $50,000 or more are required to file

Employers have been furiously working to prepare their EEO-1 Component 2 submissions by the September 30 deadline.  Some employers who underestimated the task have asked us whether the EEOC’s submission portal will remain open after September 30 in case they are unable to complete their submissions in time.  Until now, our response has been “maybe.”
