Legal departments in companies across the United States will need to be aware that the 2022 EEO-1 filing platform is scheduled to open on October 31, 2023. Potentially crucial for regulatory compliance, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has recently issued an updated data collection instruction booklet and FAQs.
The goal of these updates is to guide organizations about the EEO-1 filing process. Notifying all prior filers will be done via postal mailing and email, providing the new credentials: the EEO-1 Company Number is now called the Online Filing System (OFS) Company ID, and the Employer PIN.
This decision by the EEOC reflects the broader trend in regulatory bodies moving towards digitization and leveraging online platforms to streamline their processes, increase efficiency, and maintain accuracy.
These updates and resources provided by the EEOC can be found in detail on their website. It is recommended that all businesses that have previously filed EEO-1 reports acquaint themselves with the contents of this updated instruction booklet and FAQs, ensuring timely, efficient and accurate filing of the 2022 EEO-1 report.
