EEO-1 Reporting Services

What is an EEO-1 Report

The Employer Information Report (EEO-1 Report) is a survey mandated by federal statute and regulations. The EEO-1 Report requires covered employers to submit aggregated employee data to the federal government. This report is due every year, typically in the spring, using data from the previous calendar year. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been collecting EEO-1 report data since 1966 and has historically used the data to support civil rights enforcement.

For EEOC workforce data reporting, employers are required to group their jobs into defined categories developed by the EEOC. Jump to definitions and categories of job groups here.

Who Has to File an EEO-1 Report?

• Private employers, including federal contractors and subcontractors, with 100 or more employees; or
• Employers with fewer than 100 employees if the company is owned by or corporately affiliated with another company and the entire enterprise employs a total of 100 or more employees; or
• Federal contractors or subcontractors with 50 or more employees and contracts amounting to $50,000 or more.

Our EEO-1 Support Services Include:

• EEO-1 Job Category Evaluation 
  • Berkshire will review current EEO-1 category codes assigned to your jobs based on factors such as job title, FLSA exempt status, job level and grade or salary range — to ensure that the data accurately reflect your workforce.
  • Having defined categories allows for clearer analysis of differences between the job categories, and thus clearer identification of potential industries, job types, and/or geographic areas where individuals might be suspiciously under- or over-represented in certain roles based on sex or race.
  • It's vitally important to evaluate your job groups carefully to avoid misrepresentation of your data and, subsequently, erroneous or misleading findings of adverse impact.
• Establishment Review
  • Review company’s existing North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes to ensure that each establishment is assigned to the correct industry.
  • Review company’s reporting structure and provide guidance to you about appropriate grouping of employees considering Federal Tax ID (FEIN) numbers, subsidiaries or other legal entities, foreign ownership, remote employees and employees who work at client worksites.

• Filing
  
  • Berkshire consultants are well versed in the nuances of the EEOC filing system and can complete and file your EEO-1 reports for you on an annual basis.
  • Component 2/Compensation Report

    • The EEOC is currently evaluating whether to reinstitute an annual compensation report. This report may be like Component 2 which was officially discontinued in February 2020 by a federal court. Component 2 included elements from the Component 1 report such as race/ethnicity and gender by EEO-1 category, however, it also included a requirement to report aggregated compensation and hours-worked data.

    • Berkshire is following this development very closely and we plan to be positioned to help you meet the filing requirements should such a compensation report be required.
