The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has announced that it intends to seek approval of the Employer Information (EEO-1) “Component 1” Report and associated recordkeeping obligations, including some minor changes to the EEO-1, for the next three reporting years (2022 through 2024), as required under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA).
Please note that in seeking approval for a three-year extension from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the EEOC is asking only for reporting of “Component 1” race, ethnicity, and sex data by job category. The EEOC is not proposing to modify “the types of demographic workforce data historically collected by the EEO-1,” nor is it seeking approval for the reporting of “Component 2” pay and hours worked data, which filers reported for calendar years 2017 and 2018 but not since then.
The EEOC does want to make some minor changes to the EEO-1, however, that would eliminate once and for all any distinction between the reports filed for sites with 50 or more employees (“Type 4” reports), and those filed for fewer than 50 employees (“Type 8” reports).
