EEOC prepares the launch of the Component 2 EEO-1 Pay Data Collection reporting requirements. On July 1, 2019 a wide variety of materials and instructions will become available online to support the completion of this report.


Following is some general information to know:


EEO-1 filers will be asked to submit Component 2 data for calendar years 2017 and 2018 by September 30, 2019 as ordered by the District Court’s recent decision in National Women’s Law Center, et al., v. Office of Management and Budget, et al., Civil Action No. 17-cv-2458 (D.D.C.). As you are aware, the standard EEO-1 Report collects workforce employment data by race/ethnicity, gender and job category.  Please know that Component 2 report will collect employee counts by pay bands as well as hours-worked data.

On May 3, 2019, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a Notice of Appeal in National Women’s Law Center.  Please note that the filing of this Notice of Appeal does not stay the District Court orders or alter EEO-1 filers’ obligations to submit Component 2 data. EEO-1 filers should be prepared to submit Component 2 data as described above.

The EEOC expects a web-based portal for the collection of 2017 and 2018 Component 2 data will be active by mid-July 2019 and the data file format along with FAQs and other materials will be available on or around July 1st on the filing website.  The EEOC expects employers to be able to upload a file to submit 2017 and 2018 Component 2 data.  The upload functionality will be available mid-August. The URL for the portal will be https://eeoccomp2.norc.org.

*Please note that the portal is currently under construction.

The EEOC will be notifying filers prior to the launch of the portal and will provide FAQs and other materials to assist filers with the submission of Component 2 data.
