EEO-1 Reporting Overview
Note: this post adds to our previous article on EEO-1 report requirements. The EEOC now has an expected opening date for filing on May 20 and a due date of June 24, 2025.
What is the EEO-1 Report?
Many larger employers must file an EEO-1 report every year. It’s a way for the government to collect data on the workforce. They specifically look at the race, gender, and job roles of employees at companies with at least 100 workers (for private companies) or 50 workers (for certain federal contractors). This information helps them see the demographic makeup of different workplaces and monitor civil rights compliance.
Tentatively, the portal for filing will open on May 20, 2025, and close on June 24, 2025.
Who Needs to File?
- Private employers with 100 or more employees at any time during the previous year’s fourth quarter.
- Federal contractors with 50 or more employees and a contract amounting to $50,000 or more, or those serving as depositories of government funds in any amount, or financial institutions issuing and paying agents for U.S. Savings Bonds and Savings Notes.
- Private employers whose businesses have common ownership or control, such that the group of entities combines to reach 100 or more employees.
To file, visit the EEO-1 portal once it opens on or around May 20.
