The EEOC just announced an updated filing deadline for US employers to submit their demographic data. The EEO-1 Component 1 data collection for 2022 begins October 31 and the deadline to file is December 5. The federal agency posted instructions and other information (here), and will post the data file specifications on September 13.

By way of reminder, all private employers that have at least 100 employees are required to file the EEO-1 form annually, detailing the racial, ethnic and gender composition of their workforce by specific job categories. Likewise, federal government contractors and first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees and at least $50,000 in contracts must file EEO-1 reports. The form does not currently include pay data, though some states (like California) have added that requirement.
