Employer Information Report (EEO-1) Deadline Is September 30, 2009
*By David R. Vance

Title VII applies to employers who employ 15 or more employees for more than 19 weeks in the current or preceding calendar year. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) requires private employers, who are subject to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and have 100 or more employees, to file annually an Employer Information Report (EEO-1) survey. An employer with less than 100 employees also must file an EEO-1 if the company is subject to Title VII and is owned or affiliated with another company which combined employs a total of 100 or more employees. Some private federal contractors must also complete the survey.

If your company has not already, it should receive from the EEOC notification regarding the survey including filing materials. The survey provides numerical data of employees by job category, ethnicity, race and gender and must be completed by September 30, 2009. The EEOC prefers the form be submitted online at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey/. A hardcopy of the form and further instructions also are available at this website.

If you have any questions about the applicability of the survey to your business, please contact David Vance (drv@zrlaw.com) at 216.696.4441.
