Employers have been notified that the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection is tentatively scheduled to open in mid-July 2023.

Employers should know that the timeline for submitting demographic data to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will be somewhat different this year. The starting points and deadlines for data collection have varied and can leave employers confused as to when to submit the required information.

All private employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees must file EEO-1 reports each year that summarize employee headcount by sex, race/ethnicity, and job category. This component of data collection, called Component 1, does not include pay data.

What will I need?

• Company ID and unique PIN (provided via U.S. postal mail and email for 2019/2020 filers or at registration for new filers)
• Company EIN and NAICS code
• Company DUNS Number (if a federal contractor)
• Establishment address, EIN, and NAICS code, for each establishment
• Establishment DUNS number (if a federal contractor)
• Count of all full- and part-time employees during the specified workforce snapshot pay period selected by the employer
• Sex and race/ethnicity of all employees
• Job categories of all employees

Job categories include:

• Executive/senior level managers.
• First/mid-level managers.
• Professionals.
• Technicians.
• Sales workers.
• Administrative support workers.
• Craft workers.
• Operatives.
• Laborers and helpers.
• Service workers.

Updates regarding the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection, including the opening date, will be posted to www.eeocdata.org/eeo1 as they become available.

The purpose of collecting the data is to support enforcement actions, facilitate research on employment patterns, and encourage self-assessment by employers, according to the EEOC.
