2023 EEO-1 Component 1 Data Collection
Data File Upload Specifications

Single-Establishment Employer
The EEOC defines a single-establishment employer as an employer with a single establishment
where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. A single-
establishment employer is also referred to as a single-establishment filer for purposes of the EEO-
1 Component 1 data collection. A single-establishment employer is required to submit and certify
only one EEO-1 Component 1 report (i.e., a “Single-Establishment Employer Report”).
Single-Establishment Employer Report
9
An employer conducting business or performing services or industrial operations at only
one establishment is required to submit and certify one EEO-1 Component 1 report. This
report is referred to as a “Single-Establishment Employer Report.” The “Single-
Establishment Employer Report” must include demographic data for all the employer’s
employees categorized by job category and sex and race or ethnicity.
A single-establishment employer choosing the data file upload option will provide all the
employer’s data in a single row of the data file. A single-establishment employer must enter a
Status Code=1 in Field 2 to indicate a “Single-Establishment Employer Report.” In general, the
only data processed by the OFS from the data file is the workforce demographic data and remarks
from the Remarks field. All other data for a single establishment is manually entered in various
screens of the OFS - this includes employer name and address, EIN, NAICS, Federal Contractor
designation, UEI (if applicable), and workforce snapshot period.
Multi-Establishment Employer
The EEOC defines a multi-establishment employer as an employer with more than one
establishment where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are
performed. A multi-establishment employer is also referred to as a multi-establishment filer for
purposes of the EEO-1 Component 1 data collection. A multi-establishment employer is required
to submit and certify a “Headquarters Report” and “Establishment-Level Report(s),” as well as
certify an auto-populated and auto-generated “Consolidated Report”.

The data file upload for a multi-establishment employer will consist of multiple rows of data, with
each row representing a different EEO-1 Component 1 report (i.e., “Headquarters Report,”
“Establishment-Level Report”). Please note that the order of rows (i.e., reports) on the data file
does not matter – the EEO-1 Component 1 Online Filing System (OFS) will leverage the Status
Code in Field 2 to differentiate between reports. Descriptions of each report a multi-establishment
employer must file (i.e., “Consolidated Report,” “Headquarters Report,” “Establishment-Level
Report(s)”) are provided below.

The “Single-Establishment Employer Report” was formerly referred to as a “Type 1” single establishment report. Beginning with
the 2022 EEO-1 Component 1 data collection, this report is now known as a “Single-Establishment Employer Report.”
10
Multi-establishment employers, including, for example, parent corporations and their subsidiary holdings, must report workforce
demographic data for all employees at each establishment and subsidiary establishment(s). A multi-establishment employer is not
permitted to report its entire workforce on the employer’s “Headquarters Report.” Workforce demographic data for non-
headquarters establishments must be reported separately for each establishment on the “Establishment-Level Report(s).”
