Covered employers must file the EEO-1 Report--formally known as the "Employer Information Report"--by September 30, 2008.
In 2006, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission made substantial revisions to the EEO-1 Report form, including new race and ethnicity categories. Employers were required to use the new format for the report due in 2007.
Last year, employers weren't required to resurvey employees using the new race and ethnic categories before submitting the new EEO-1 Report, but many followed the EEOC's recommendation that they resurvey as soon as possible and did so last year. The EEOC's preferred method for collecting the data for the form's race and ethnic categories is self-identification by employees (as opposed to visual identification by employers).
The new EEO-1 report continues the practice of requiring employers to use employment figures from any one pay period between July and September.
The EEO-1 Report--formally known as the "Employer Information Report"--is the principal reporting form by which employers provide the federal government with a count of their workforces by ethnicity, race, and gender, divided into job categories.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires the EEO-1 Report annually from private employers with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with federal government contracts of $50,000 or more and 50 or more employees.
