EEO-1 Report Gets a Face Lift EEOC Finally Approves Revisions Proposed in 2003

On November 16th, more than two years after proposing revisions to one of its key employer reporting forms, the Employer Information Report (EEO-1), the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) voted 3- 1 to approve proposed revisions to the form. The revisions will expand the number of race and ethnic categories, and revamp some of the report’s job categories. The revisions are scheduled to go into effect starting with the 2007 reporting cycle. However, the public will have 30 days to submit comments on the proposed revisions prior to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) review. The 30-day period will commence after notice of the revisions has been published in the Federal Register.
