HRCI & SHRM Approved Webinar | CEUs = 1.5 Credit Hours
Overview:
The EEOC has confirmed that the 2024 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection period will open on May 20, 2025, after a long delay that left many employers uncertain about the future of the reporting process. One of the key changes this year is the elimination of the binary gender reporting option, a shift away from policies implemented during the Trump Administration. Additionally, while the EEOC has issued updated guidance and technical specifications, it has not reinstated pay data collection in the 2024 filing—despite ongoing discussions around pay equity. Employers, especially federal contractors with 50 or more employees, should be aware of their continued obligation to file under OFCCP regulations, even though the legal foundation for those rules was affected by Executive Order 14173.
Although pay data is not part of the federal EEO-1 Component 1 this year, employers in states like California must still comply with state-specific pay data reporting mandates. The EEOC is expected to publish a comprehensive FAQ ahead of the filing portal’s opening to help employers navigate compliance. With increased scrutiny on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), many companies also choose to voluntarily disclose their EEO-1 data to enhance transparency and accountability. Employers should begin preparing now by reviewing the 2024 EEO-1 Instruction Booklet and ensuring their demographic data is accurate and up to date.

Why should you Attend:
The EEO-1 reporting deadline has become a moving target, so covered employers need to sharpen their data collection and be ready to upload. There are new filers that need to be trained in how to complete the EEO-1 report and use the Online Filing System File by June 24, 2025 – or earlier! In the past, the EEO-1 reporting system has slowed down significantly as the deadline approached, which makes filing more challenging. You might want to allow sufficient time before the deadline, so you aren’t scrambling at the last minute with technical challenges. Typically, the EEOC does not provide for extensions.
