EEO-1 reports must be filed by all employers who are:
Only those establishments located in the District of Columbia and the 50 states are required to submit EEO-1 reports. No reports should be filed for establishments in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands or other American Protectorates.
How to file. Filing online is the preferred method. Only upon approval will paper EEO-1 forms be generated and only under extreme circumstances where Internet access is not available. The EEOC-approved specifications for creating an EEO-1 datafile is available at https://www.eeoc.gov/data/eeo-data-collections. Employers who are first-time filers will need to register their company online.
All multi-establishment employers, i.e. employers doing business at more than one establishment, must file:
The total number of employees indicated on the headquarters report, PLUS the establishment reports, PLUS the list of establishments with fewer than 50 employees, MUST equal the total number of employees shown on the consolidated report.
All reports for a multi-establishment company must be collected by the headquarters office for its establishments or by the parent corporation for its subsidiary holdings and submitted in one package.
For the purposes of this report, the term “parent corporation” refers to any corporation which owns all or the majority stock of another corporation so that the latter stands in the relation to it of a subsidiary.
Filing deadline. This annual report was traditionally filed by September 30 of each year, but that deadline has been known to be moved for various reasons to as late as May 31. Employment data is to be pulled from one pay period in October, November, or December of the current survey year.
