Which form must employers submit to report EEO data?

Employers must submit the EEO-1 Report to report EEO data as it is specifically designed to collect employment data from employers regarding the race, ethnicity, and gender of their workforce. This information is essential for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) to monitor compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws and to analyze workforce demographics nationwide.

The EEO-1 Report is required for private employers with 100 or more employees, as well as for federal contractors with 50 or more employees. This periodic reporting helps to ensure transparency and equality in employment practices, contributing to efforts to eliminate workplace discrimination.

In contrast, the other forms mentioned do not serve this purpose. The I-9 Employment Eligibility Form is used for verifying an employee's identity and eligibility to work in the U.S. The FLSA Wage Report relates to wage standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act and does not gather data on employment demographics. The OSHA Safety Report concerns workplace safety and health compliance, which is distinct from EEO reporting requirements.
