The timeline for submitting EEO-1 data to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has changed. The starting points and deadlines for data submission have varied in recent years; the EEOC recently confirmed that the submission of 2022 data will begin in mid-July. All private employers with 100 or more employees and all federal contractors with 50 or more employees must file EEO-1 reports each year, which include employee data based on sex, race/ethnicity, and job category.

Employers may identify employees as male or female. They also can identify individuals as non-binary in the comments section of the form.

In the race section, employers may identify employees as white, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, or two or more races. According to the EEOC, the employer should use other employment-related documents or a visual identification to identify the race or ethnicity of an employee who refuses to self-identify and report their race or ethnicity.

Job categories listed on the EEO-1 form include the following: executive/senior level managers, first/mid-level managers, professionals, technicians, sales workers, administrative support workers, craft workers, operatives, laborers and helpers, and service workers.

The EEOC uses the EEO-1 data to support enforcement actions, research employment patterns, and encourage employers to self-assess their hiring and workforce. In addition, employers can use the data for their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) programs.
