EEO-1 Report Deadline

June 30, 2021

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that the deadline for submitting EEO-1 reports for both 2019 and 2020 has been extended to August 23, 2021. The previous deadline was July 19, 2021.


EEO-1 reports collect demographic data, such as gender and race/ethnicity, of an employer’s workforce by job grouping. EEO-1 reports are required annually for private employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees. Last year, the EEOC delayed opening the 2019 EEO-1 collection due to the pandemic. Therefore, this year, each covered employer must submit a 2019 report and 2020 report.


For any questions or concerns about this change or preparing your submission, please contact the attorneys at The Royal Law Firm at (413) 586-2288.

Royal Attorneys Secure Summary Judgment at Massachusetts Appeals Court

December 5, 2025
Our attorneys successfully obtained summary judgment in favor of the Defendant from the Massachusetts Appeals Court in a Wage Act and contract dispute. The Complainant alleged entitlement to a substantial variable compensation award following resignation. We demonstrated that the compensation plan made such awards discretionary and contingent on continued employment at the time of payout. The Appeals Court agreed, finding that the award did not constitute wages under the Wage Act and that the Defendant acted lawfully in denying payment. All claims were dismissed in their entirety.
