EEO-1 Reports Due March 31st

Client Alert | 1 min read | 03.14.18

As we enter the Ides of March, a reminder to all employers with 100 or more employees, and all government contractors/first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees and a contract of at least $50,000, that the 2017 EEO-1 report must be filed by March 31, 2018. 

2017 revisions to the EEO-1 Report changed the annual filing date from September 30 to March 31, and would have required employers to submit compensation and hours data in addition to the standard workforce representation data.  Employers received a reprieve from the compensation and hours data obligations in August 2017 when the Office of Management and Budget issued a stay of those portions of the revised Report.  The change to the filing deadline, however, remained in place.  As such, employers must now use a payroll period between October 1 and December 31, 2017 as the basis for the submission, and must file their 2017 EEO-1 Report by March 31, 2018. 

So for those who were used to filing in the Fall, and may not have the filing date on their Spring calendars, don’t forget to submit by the March 31 deadline.

This resolution marks the first FCA settlement secured by the DOJ under its Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, created in May 2025, and announced by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as part of the administration’s coordinated efforts to target allegedly unlawful DEI practices. Per the agreement, the settlement is neither an admission of liability by IBM nor a concession by the United States that its claims are not well founded....
