The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has postponed the deadline for employers to file their 2022 EEO-1 reports, which list workforce demographic data, including race and sex.
An announcement on the EEOC's website explained: "The EEOC is currently completing a mandatory, three-year renewal of the EEO-1 Component 1 data collection by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Accordingly, the EEOC has updated the tentative opening of the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection to the Fall of 2023."
A more precise date was not available. Previously, the tentative deadline for filing was in mid-July.
"Employers value certainty in deadlines, and when government agencies keep changing them, it's harder to plan, and it inevitably creates anxiety for some affected portion of the reporting population," said Alissa Horvitz, an attorney with Roffman Horvitz in McLean, Va.
"While employers may find it helpful to have additional time to gather the reporting data, the rolling deadline of the EEO-1 reporting makes it challenging for employers to manage resources and expectations. While there may be more time to gather underlying data, lack of clarity from EEOC regarding potential changes to the reports may limit employers' ability to be proactive," said Lauren Hicks, an attorney with Ogletree Deakins in Atlanta.
