The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requires all employers with 100 or more employees, and federal contractors with 50 or more employees and contracts of $50,000 or more, to provide information about the makeup of their workforce. This information is reported on The Employer Information report, otherwise known as the EEO-1 Report. Form EEO-1 must be filed annually with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee to identify employees by race, ethnicity and sex, in each employer location and job category.
Form EEO-1 is reported electronically. The 2017 survey opened January 22, 2018 with a new EEO-1 Survey Application to help employers with their filing obligations. The new survey user guide is available at https://www.eeoc.gov/employers/eeo1survey/upload/2017-EEO-1-Survey-Users-Guide.pdf
The 2017 EEO-1 Survey is due by March 31, 2018. The employment data used for the 2017 EEO-1 survey must be selected from one payroll period in the fourth quarter of calendar year 2017 (October, November or December 2017).
