What is an Employment Information Report (EEO-1)?

The Employment Information Report, commonly referred to as EEO-1, is a compliance survey mandated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). It requires certain employers to classify and report their workforce demographics by race, ethnicity, and gender across various job categories. 

Purpose and Requirements of the EEO-1 Report 

The EEO-1 report aims to collect data to enforce civil rights laws against employment discrimination. It is a vital tool for analyzing employment patterns and ensuring fair treatment within workplaces.

Employers required to submit this report include:

• Private employers with 100 or more employees.
• Federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a federal contract of $50,000 or more. 

The data, which employers must update annually, helps monitor and promote equal opportunities across industries.
