Employers have been furiously working to prepare their EEO-1
Component 2 submissions by the September 30 deadline. Some
employers who underestimated the task have asked us whether the
EEOC's submission portal will remain open after September 30 in
case they are unable to complete their submissions in time. Until
now, our response has been "maybe."
However, today the EEOC provided the following guidance to employers:
In a September 27, 2019 Status Report that was filed in the
lawsuit discussing post-September 30th activities, the
EEOC stated that so long as the Court's order is in effect
stating that the collection will not be complete until it reaches
what the Court has determined to be the target response rate, the
EEOC will continue to accept Component 2 data for 2017 and 2018.
The EEOC encourages all filers to submit their data as soon as
possible.
