The EEO-1 is an annual survey that requires certain employers to file the EEO-1 report. The EEO-1 Report, Standard Form 100, is a compliance survey that requires company employment data to be categorized by race/ethnicity. As set forth on the EEOC’s website, all companies that meet any of the following criteria are required to file the EEO-1 report annually:

  • The company is subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, with 100 or more employees; or
  • The company is subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, with fewer than 100 employees, if the company is owned by or corporately affiliated with another company and the entire enterprise employs a total of 100 or more employees; or
  • The company is a federal government prime contractor or first-tier subcontractor subject to Executive Order 11246, as amended, with 50 or more employees and a prime contract or first-tier subcontract amounting to $50,000 or more.

Detailed instructions for the 2018 EEO-1 filers, including the exact date of the survey opening, will be forthcoming. Filers should refer to the EEO-1 website in the coming weeks for updates on the new schedule. Also, see the EEOC’s FAQ for further information.
