HR Challenge®: Equal Employment Opportunity
The EEO-1 Report is the principal reporting form by which employers provide the federal government with a count of their workforces by ethnicity, race, and gender, divided into job categories. Covered employers must file an EEO-1 Report form on or before September 30 each year. When one employer surveys employees, several employees self-identify as a particular race, but the employer believes, based on visual identification, that the employees are a different race. For EEO-1 purposes, may the employer report the employees as the race the employer believes them to be?
