EEO-1 Reporting


The Employer Information Report (EEO-1), otherwise known as the EEO-1 Report, is required to be filed with the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee. Notification letters are mailed to employers beginning in July of each year. The preferred method for completing the EEO-1 reports is the web-based filing system. All companies receive their EEO-1 filing materials by mail each year before the filing deadline. The dates for receipt of the EEO-1 filing materials have changed since the initial filing deadline last year.

DATA COLLECTION NOTE! - In a letter dated July 24, 2017 from J.S. Schellenberger, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor, the DOL said that contractors could use the same data collection period that applies to the new EEO-1 requirements. In other words, contractors can collect their VETS-4212 “snapshot” data during the October 1-December 31 period.


During July of 2017, VETS clarified that moving forward, contractors can gain efficiency by pulling a single data snapshot as of December 31 for reporting on both EEO-1 reports to be filed by March 31, 2020 and VETS-4212 reports to be filed by September 30, 2019. While the timing of the submission of the reports remains different, employers looking for efficiencies can use a single snapshot as of December 31st of the previous year. For organizations that would be utilizing December 31, 2019 for reporting on both EEO-1 and VETS-4212 have submission deadlines of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

President’s Budget Would Relieve VETS-4212 Filing Requirement for Federal Contractors Who Receive the HIRE Vets Medallion Award
Federal contractors who apply for and receive the 2020 HIRE Vets Medallion Award would not need to submit a VETS-4212 report in the year following receipt of a HIRE Vets Medallion Award under the President’s budget. 

Federal contractors and subcontractors with a contract of $150,000 or more are required to report veteran employment data (38 U.S. Code, Section 4212).  The application for the HIRE Vets Medallion Award requires that employers report on their hiring, retention, and support of veterans, including aggregate employment data. Through the passage and signing of the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (“HIRE Vets Act”), the Administration and Congress determined that organizations are worthy of recognition as exemplary veteran employers if they meet the criteria of the HIRE Vets Medallion Award.
