Employers must use the new EEO-1 report starting with the report due on September 30, 2007. Employers that submit an EEO-1 should begin implementing the changes now-if they have not already begun to do so.

The EEO-1 report must be filed by:

Employers with federal government contracts of $50,00 or more and 50 or more employees, and
Employers who do not have a federal government contract but have 100 or more employees.
For 2007, there are a number of changes to race and ethnic categories, as well as to the job categories. Because of the changes to the race and ethnic categories, the EEOC encourages employers to resurvey current employees using the new categories as soon as possible. The EEOC will not require employers to resurvey current employees for the September 30, 2007, report. For more information about the revised EEO-1, see www.eeoc.gov/eeo1/index.html.
