Employers who are subject to the EEO-1 report filing requirement may submit their report by January 9, 2024, which is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) “Failure to File” deadline. While the due date was technically December 5, the EEOC has indicated that it will accept 2023 EEO-1 reports up until January 9 of next year.

The EEOC requires private sector employers to file an EEO-1 report if they answer ‘yes’ to any of these questions:

1. Does the entire company (at all locations combined) have at least 100 employees?

2. Is the company affiliated through common ownership and/or centralized management with other entities in an enterprise with a total employment of 100 or more?

3. Does the company or any of its establishments hold a contract with the federal government worth $50,000 or more and have 50 or more employees?

4. Is the company or any of its establishments a federal government contractor that serves as a depository of Government funds in any amount or a financial institution which is an issuing and paying agent for U.S. Savings Bonds and Savings Notes in any amount?

EEO-1 reports must reflect the demographic data from a “workforce snapshot period” designated by the employer, which can be any pay period between October 1 and December 31 of the current year. The pay period must be one in which the employer meets the 100-employee threshold for filing, even if at times during the fourth quarter it fell below the 100-employee threshold. Additional information about completing and filing an EEO-1 report can be found here.
