Recently, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that 2019 and 2020 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection will open April 26, with a deadline of July 19. OMA Connections Partner Frantz Ward reports that the EEOC previously said it will no longer be collecting Component 2 (pay and work hours) data, so the EEO-1 Component 1 data is all that is required for the upcoming submission. It’s unknown whether the EEOC under President Biden will try to revive Component 2 data for future years, but it will not be included in this data cycle. 4/7/2021
