EEOC Implements Long Awaited Revisions to EEO-1 Report

On January 27, 2006, the Office of Management and Budget approved the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) revisions to its EEO-1 Report. This is the first major overhaul of the EEO-1 Report in 40 years. The newly finalized changes summarized below are further detailed in our November 18, 2005 Management Alert. [click here to view this Alert] Beginning with the 2007 reporting cycle, covered private employers (100 or more employees) and federal contractors (50 or more employees) will be required to use the revised survey form. Because the revised survey form will not be effective until 2007, it is recommended that employers delay implementing any changes to their data collection systems until after they have submitted their 2006 report.
