The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory annual data collection that requires all private sector employers with 100 or more employees, as well as federal contractors with 50 or more employees meeting certain criteria, to submit demographic workforce data. This submittal should include data by race/ethnicity, sex, and job categories. Employers can find additional eligibility information on the EEO-1 Component 1 website. 

After delaying the opening of the 2019 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection because of the COVID-19 public health emergency, the EEOC has announced that the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component data 1 collection is now open. Eligible employers have until Monday, July 19, 2021 to submit two years of data.

All the necessary data is housed within ExponentHR, so accessing the report for upload is simple. For step-by-step instruction on running the report, visit this page.

Filers should visit the newly launched EEO-1 Component 1 website for the latest filing updates and additional information. By visiting the Filer Support Center, filers can request assistance as well as access resources including fact sheets and FAQs.

Eligible employers that have not received a 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 notification letter via U.S. mail should contact the EEOC’s Filer Support Team at FilerSupport@eeocdata.org.  Employers that have received the notification letter may create user accounts using the “Company ID” and “Passcode” provided in the notification letter.  

Once a user account is created, there are two different ways to file the 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 Report(s):
