On May 20, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission began accepting 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 reports. The deadline to submit is Tuesday, June 24. EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas issued this bulletin about the opening of the 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection process.

According to the EEOC, after June 24 (the “Published Due Date”), no additional 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 reports will be accepted, and eligible employers will be out of compliance with their mandatory 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 filing obligations.

Under current EEOC regulations, private employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees, who also meet certain criteria, are required to report annually the number of individuals they employ by job category and by sex and race or ethnicity.

The mandatory annual data collection is conducted through the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System.

To ensure compliance with the EEOC’s substantive filing requirements, the EEOC advises filers to read the 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet. Additional EEOC resources include:

• Fact Sheets
• FAQs
• Data File Specs
• Job Classifications
• OFS Users Guide
• OFS

All updates about the 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, including supplementary resource materials, will be posted to www.eeocdata.org/eeo1 as they become available.

Contact the EEO-1 Component 1 online Filer Support Message Center (i.e., filer help desk) with any questions regarding the 2024 collection.
