The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Wednesday it has completed its mailing of the 2014 EEO-1 survey letters, an annual survey that all private employers with 100 or more workers must fill out.
The EEO-1 survey also is required for federal government contractors or first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees and contracts of $50,000 or more.
The filing deadline for the survey, which provides employment data by race/ethnicity, gender and job categories, is Sept. 30, the EEOC said.
Researchers, private attorneys, human resources staff who are developing affirmative action plans use the report as does the commission in enforcing Title II of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination.
Employers that meet the criteria to fill out the report or filed a report last year that have not received their 2014 notification or have questions can contact the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee at 866-286-6440 or by email at e1.techassistance@eeoc.gov.
An employer that does not fill out the required report may be compelled to do so by order of a federal judge, according to the EEOC.
President Barack Obama has nominated former plaintiff attorney Jenny R. Yang as chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency said Tuesday.
