The Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission has
announced that employers will have a two-month extension of the
deadline to submit their EEO-1 workforce data report for 2018.
The annual deadline is usually
March 31, but in a press release on February 1, 2019, the EEOC stated, “Due to the partial lapse in appropriations,
the opening of the EEO-1 has been postponed until early March 2019. The
deadline to submit EEO-1 data will be extended until May 31, 2019.”
EEO-1 reports must be filed by:
- Employers with 100 or more employees;
- Federal contractors or first-tier subcontractors
with 50 or more employees and either
- a federal contract, OR
- a federal subcontract, OR
- a federal purchase order of $50,000 or more.
EEO-1 reports include information
about the race, ethnicity, and sex of employees, broken down by job category. The
survey is intended to create workplace opportunities by enforcing federal
anti-discrimination laws. To learn more about the EEO-1 survey, and the date
the 2018 survey opens, visit the EEO-1 website.
