Final Extension for EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection in 2021: Impact on Federal Contractors & Non-Federal Companies

Outline

The Equal Employment Opportunities Commission (EEOC) has once again extended the EEO-1 Reporting deadline from August 23, 2021, to October 25, 2021. This is the Final extension!! While this is a relief for many Employers, professionals are responsible for completing the report. It is critical to ensure the report is completed by the final extension.


The extension will be welcomed by employers with outstanding support requests, which often take up to four weeks for an agency response. It will also interest the newly hired employees responsible for completing the report and employees who inherited the task of submitting the report.


The EEOC has a backlog due to a high number of company support requests for reporting mergers, acquisitions, and spinoffs and support requests to obtain user registration and login information.


The additional focus will be on what is the impact if Employers fail to meet the final deadline. There are consequences that will impact federal contractors and non-federal companies.


What's EEO-1 Data Collection and Why is it Important?

On April 26, 2021, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) opened the filing for 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection.


Every year, employers with 100 or more employees (and federal contractors with 50 or more employees) must file EEO-1 Component 1 data, which consists of demographic information, such as race, gender, and ethnicity information, of the employer’s workforce by job category. Given that workplace discrimination being an all-time hot topic, this filing always secures the highest points in popularity.


2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection in 2021

As happened in 2020, the EEOC delayed the opening of the 2019 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. Therefore, this year, employers are required to make two submissions instead: one with 2019 EEO-1 data and one with 2020 EEO-1 data!


The EEOC is extending this annual data collection period this year from 10 weeks to 17 weeks, considering the recent update on the deadline, to provide employers additional time to file. It is important to acknowledge that the global COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact workplaces across the country and recognizing that the requirement to submit two years of EEO-1 data is a substantial undertaking.
