  1. EEO-1 2024 Filing Starts May 20, 2025: Are You Ready? It’s that time again—EEO-1 2024 Filing opens on May 20, 2025, and if your organization falls under the requirements, now’s the moment to start preparing. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) uses this data to promote fair hiring and workplace practices, and submitting your report isn’t just a legal requirement—it’s a statement about your company’s values. Let’s break down what this filing means, what’s new this year, and how you can stay ahead of the deadline without the stress. What Is the EEO-1 Report and Why Does It Matter? The EEO-1 reporting process is about more than just ticking boxes. It’s a snapshot of your workforce—how many people you employ, what roles they’re in, and how your team reflects diversity across race, gender, and job category. The EEOC uses this report to help enforce anti-discrimination laws and monitor employment trends across the country. For your business, it’s also a valuable tool to evaluate internal diversity, identify potential gaps, and demonstrate accountability. Who Has to File the EEO-1 Report? If you're wondering whether your organization needs to submit the EEO-1 2024 Filing, here’s a quick checklist: ● You have 100 or more employees, or

  2. ● You're a federal contractor with 50+ employees and a contract worth $50,000 or more, or ● You’re required to file as part of a federal court order or consent decree If you meet any of those, you're on the hook for this year’s report. Key Filing Dates to Know Mark your calendars! Here's what the timeline looks like for the EEO-1 2024 Filing: ● Opens: May 20, 2025 ● Closes: Exact date to be confirmed by the EEOC (typically 4–6 weeks after opening) ● Snapshot Period: Choose a single pay period between October 1 and December 31, 2024, to capture your workforce data.

  3. What’s New This Year? While the core ofEEO-1 reporting remains the same, here are a few updates and reminders for 2025: ● No Component 2 Reporting: You only need to provide demographic and job category data. Pay data and hours worked are not required this cycle. ● Improved Portal: The EEOC’s filing system has been updated, making it easier (and hopefully faster) to input your data. Make sure your login and company profile are up to date. ● Accuracy Is Key: With more attention on workplace equity, getting your employee classifications right is more important than ever. How to Get Ready: Step-by-Step Prep Getting your EEO-1 2024 Filing right starts with solid preparation. Here’s how to keep it simple and stress-free: 1. Confirm Your Filing Status Double-check that your organization needs to file. Don’t assume—verify! 2. Assign a Point Person Designate someone (usually from HR or compliance) to oversee the process from start to finish. 3. Collect the Right Data Using your chosen pay period (from Oct–Dec 2024), gather the necessary demographic and job category data for all employees. 4. Use the Right Categories Ensure that employees are classified according to the EEOC's job categories and demographic definitions. This step is where most errors happen. 5. Log in Early Access the EEOC’s portal at eeocdata.org, and make sure your account is active and current. 6. Submit Before the Deadline

  4. Don’t wait until the last minute. Submit early to avoid system slowdowns and give yourself time to correct any errors. Common Pitfalls to Watch Out For Mistakes in EEO-1 reporting can lead to more than just rework—they can attract audits or penalties. Watch out for: ● Misclassifying employees (especially job categories or race/ethnicity) ● Missing deadlines ● Inconsistent or outdated data ● No documentation to support your report in case of review Conducting a quick internal audit before filing can save you a lot of headaches later. Why EEO-1 Reporting Is More Than a Requirement Think of the EEO-1 2024 Filing as more than a task on your compliance checklist. It’s a chance to: ● Reflect on your workforce’s makeup ● Identify gaps in representation ● Build a more inclusive hiring strategy ● Show employees and stakeholders that you care about equity and transparency Being proactive not only keeps you compliant, it positions your organization as one that leads with integrity. What Happens If You Don’t File? If your company is required to file and misses the deadline, the consequences can be serious: ● Official notices and follow-ups from the EEOC ● Risk to government contracts

  5. ● Potential legal action for non-compliance It’s not worth the risk. Filing on time shows responsibility and helps protect your company’s reputation. Conclusion: Be Proactive, Not Reactive The window for EEO-1 2024 Filing opens on May 20, 2025, but the smartest organizations start preparing well before that. By getting your data in order, understanding the rules, and staying organized, you’ll make the process smooth, stress-free, and accurate. Whether you’re a small federal contractor or a large enterprise, EEO-1 reporting is a reflection of your commitment to fairness and diversity. Don’t just meet the requirement—make the most of it.
