With the record partial government shutdown continuing and no
end in sight, employers' EEO-1 filing obligations appear to be
on hold. Typically, by this time, employers that filed EEO-1
reports in the past should have received postcards from the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) reflecting company log-in
information for the EEO-1 web portal. However, those postcards have
not gone out, and the EEO-1 web portal is not accessible. Instead,
attempts to log in redirect users to a general announcement about
the EEOC's operations during the government shutdown. That
announcement provides information about charge intake, FOIA
requests, and mediation, but it does not indicate the timeline or
procedures for EEO-1 filing.
