Summary of requirements
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:
- A report covering the principal or headquarters office;
- A separate report for each establishment employing 50 or more persons;
- A consolidated report that MUST include ALL employees by race, sex and job category in establishments with 50 or more employees as well as establishments with fewer than 50 employees; and
- A list, showing the name, address, total employment and major activity for each establishment employing fewer than 50 persons, must accompany the consolidated report.
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.
