FACT SHEET
WHO MUST FILE
NOTICE
Employers (i.e., filers) should read the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet (i.e.,
“Instruction Booklet”) prior to and in conjunction with using the below “fact sheet.” Filers must
ensure they are complying with the EEOC’s substantive filing requirements detailed in the
Instruction Booklet and should not refer solely to this “fact sheet” to complete their required
2023 EEO-1 Component 1 filing. The 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet may be
accessed at the following link on the EEOC’s dedicated EEO-1 Component 1 website
(www.eeocdata.org/eeo1):
www.eeocdata.org/pdfs/2023_EEO_1_Component_1_Instruction_Booklet.pdf.
Pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII), 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et
seq., and Executive Order Number 11246, private employers and federal contractors meeting the
below requirements have a mandatory legal obligation to submit and certify annual EEO-1
Component 1 report(s) containing required workforce demographic data to the EEOC. Different
employee threshold requirements apply depending on whether the employer is a federal
contractor that meets certain criteria.
Private Employers
A private employer that is subject to Title VII and that has 100 or more employees during an
employer-selected pay period (i.e., workforce snapshot period) in the fourth quarter (i.e.,
October 1 through December 31) of the reporting year (i.e., 2023) has a mandatory legal
obligation to submit and certify an annual EEO-1 Component 1 report containing required
workforce demographic data to the EEOC.
Workforce demographic data (i.e., employee data by job category and sex and race or ethnicity)
submit
ted by an eligible employer must include all full-time and part-time employees who were
employed during an employer-selected pay period (i.e., “workforce snapshot period”) in the
fourth quarter (i.e., October 1 through December 31) of the reporting year (i.e., 2023).
1
Please refer to the section of the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet entitled
“WORKFORCE SNAPSHOT PERIOD” for additional information. Additionally, Appendix A of the
Instruction Booklet provides the definition of an “employer” for purposes of filling the EEO-1
1
Beginning with the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, an employer that meets the employee threshold for EEO-1
Component 1 reporting purposes at any time during the fourth quarter (i.e., October 1 through December 31) of the reporting
year, may not select a “workforce snapshot period” from this quarter where it falls below the threshold in an effort to avoid the
filing requirement.

Component 1 Report(s). The 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Instruction Booklet may be accessed at
the following link on the EEOC’s dedicated EEO-1 Component 1 website
(www.eeocdata.org/eeo1)

Additionally, a private employer that is subject to Title VII with fewer than 100 employees has a
mandatory legal obligation to submit and certify an annual EEO-1 Component 1 report(s)
containing required workforce demographic data to the EEOC if the employer owns, is owned by,
and/or is affiliated or associated (e.g., if there is interrelation between operations) with another
employer or there is centralized or common ownership, control (e.g., there is financial control or
centralized control of personnel policies and/or labor relations), or management so that the
group of employers constitutes a single enterprise and/or integrated enterprise and the entire
enterprise had 100 or more employees during an employer-selected pay period (i.e., workforce
snapshot period) in the fourth quarter (i.e., October 1 through December 31) of the reporting
year (i.e., 2023).
F
or example, if an employer (e.g., a parent corporation) has only 30 employees but owns two
sepa
rate subsidiaries (i.e., establishments) each with 35 employees, the headquarters of the
parent corporation must file EEO-1 Component 1 reports for its two subsidiaries (i.e.,
establishments) since the parent corporation and its two subsidiaries comprise a single
enterprise with 100 employees.
Federal Contractors
Pursuant to Executive Order 11246 and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)
regulations,

a federal prime or subcontractor that meets all the following four criteria

any subcontractor below the first tier which performs construction work at the site of

and (4).
Filers with questions as to whether an employer (i.e., company) is a federal prime or
subc
ontractor meeting the above criteria should refer to OFCCP’s regulations at
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-41/subtitle-B/chapter-60/part-60-1/subpart-A/section-60-
1.7. Additional information on federal contractor status may also be found on OFCCP’s website

Additional Information
An employer that receives an EEO-1 Component 1 filing notice from the EEOC but believes it is
not r
equired to file must access the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System (OFS) to complete
the embedded eligibility screener. If the screener confirms eligibility, the employer must follow
the prompts to submit and certify the required workforce demographic data. If the eligibility
screener indicates the employer is ineligible to file, the employer must certify that it is ineligible
in the OFS. Failure to certify ineligibility through the OFS will result in future EEO-1 Component 1
filing notices being sent to the employer by the EEOC. Additionally, an employer that receives an
EEO-1 Component 1 filing notice from the EEOC but has ceased operations and is no longer in
business must also access the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System (OFS) to complete the
eligibility screener. If the eligibility screener indicates the employer is ineligible to file, the
employer must certify that its company is ineligible and no longer in business in the OFS. Similarly,
failure to certify ineligibility through the OFS will result in future EEO-1 Component 1 filing notices
being sent to the employer by the EEOC.
Please note the EEOC does not collect workforce demographic data from local referral unions,
stat
e and local governments, and public elementary and secondary school systems and districts
through the EEO-1 Component 1 data collection. Demographic data for these entities are
collected through other EEO data collections administered by the EEOC. These biennial data
collections include the EEO-3 Local Union Report, the EEO-4 State and Local Government Report,
and the EEO-5 Elementary-Secondary Staff Information Report. Please note that the National
Center for Education Statistics (NCES), located within the U.S. Department of Education’s
Institute for Education Sciences, collects data on post-secondary education through the annual
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Survey. See https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/.
If you are one of these entities but have received an EEO-1 Component 1 filing notice from the
EEOC, please contact the EEO-1 Component 1 Filer Support Team via the online Message Center
at www.eeocdata.org/eeo1.

To further assist filers, the EEOC provides supplementary resource materia
ls (e.g., user’s guide;

The deadline to file the 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 report is 11:00 pm ET (i.e., Eastern Time) on
Tuesday, June 4, 2024 (i.e., “Published Due Date”). Following the Tuesday, June 4, 2024
“Published Due Date” deadline, the EEOC will enter the “Failure to File” phase. All employers who
have not submitted and certified their mandatory 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 report(s) by the
Tuesday, June 4, 2024 “Published Due Date” deadline will receive a “Notice of Failure to File”
from the EEOC instructing them to submit and certify their data as soon as possible, and no later
than 11:00 pm ET (i.e., Eastern Time) on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 (i.e., “Failure to File” deadline).
After the Tuesday, July 9, 2024 “Failure to File” deadline passes, no additional 2023 EEO-1
Component 1 report(s) will be accepted, and eligible employers will be out of compliance with
their mandatory 2023 EEO-1 Component 1 filing obligations.
The EEO-1 Component 1 report is a mandatory annual data collection that requires all private
sector employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more
employees meeting certain criteria, to submit workforce demographic data, including data by
job category and sex and race or ethnicity, to the EEOC. The authorities under which EEO-1
Component 1 data are collected include: Section 709(c) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2000e, et seq., and Sections 1602.7-1602.14, Chapter XIV, Title 29
of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR); Exec. Order No. 11246, 30 FR 12319 (Sept. 24,
