Update on EEO-1 Reports and I-9 Forms

Written on .

Employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors employing 50 or more employees are generally required to file Component 1 data reports annually with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) called the EEO-1 Report.  This form reports on the racial, ethnic and gender composition of workforces across certain job categories.  Because of widespread non-compliance with the reporting obligations, the EEOC recently has taken a dramatic step of actually suing a few employers, reportedly about 10, about not filing such documents.  Previously, there was no enforcement mechanism to require the filing of these reports. 

The EEOC requires the filing of such report through electronic submission through a web-based portal referred to as the "EEO-1 Component One On-Line Filing System."  There is also an EEOC filing support message center available to assist filers and answer questions.  The on-line filing system can be found at www.eeoc.gov/data/eeo-date-collections.  The time for filing the 2023 report has passed, but the opportunity to file the 2024 report will be early next year.

Concerning I-9 forms, the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated the August 1, 2023 edition of its Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to extend the expiration date to May 31, 2027.  There are actually two different versions of this form, with different expiration dates (07/31/2026 or 05/31/2027), but either can be used until its expiration date.  The form currently available for download has the later May 31, 2027, expiration date.
