Revised EEO-1 Report – Where Does It Stand?

In the cycle of seasons, July is when an employer's thoughts turn to the filing of its annual EEO-1 reports. Since 1966,¹ employers with 100 or more employees that are subject to Title VII have been required to annually file this report, providing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "EEOC") with data on the number of individuals employed, their distribution by legal entity and location, and their demographic characteristics. In addition, federal contractors with 50 or more employees are also required to file an annual EEO-1 report. For decades, employers have been required to file the EEO-1 report each year by September 30 with data based on a "snapshot" of their workforce taken sometime between July and September. But not this year.
