EEO-1 Reports Due in September

The Employer Information Report EEO-1, otherwise known as the EEO-1 Report, is required to be filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee.

The EEO-1 Report – formally known as the "Employer Information Report" – is a government form requiring many employers to provide a count of their employees by job category and then by ethnicity, race and gender. The EEO-1 report is submitted to both the EEOC and the Department of Labor, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP).

The filing deadline for the 2009 EEO-1 Survey is September 30, 2009. Notification letters were mailed to employers beginning in July 2009.

According to the US EEOC, the preferred method for completing the 2009 EEO-1 reports is the web-based filing system. Online filing requires you to log into your company's database with a Login ID and Password. All companies should receive 2009 EEO-1 filing materials by mail no later than mid August 2009.
