[Editor's Note: Employers may voluntarily choose to report employee demographic data for non-binary employees – that is, employees who do not identify as exclusively male or female. Employers should consider whether the nonbinary option should be removed from the voluntary self-identification form below for use in their organization.]
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires all private employers with 100 or more employees as well as federal contractors and first-tier subcontractors with 50 or more employees AND contracts of at least $50,000 complete an EEO-1 report each year. Covered employers must invite employees to self-identify gender and race for this report.
Completion of this form is voluntary and will not affect your opportunity for employment, or the terms or conditions of your employment. This form will be used for EEO-1 reporting purposes only and will be kept separate from all other personnel records only accessed by the Human Resources department. Please return completed forms to the HR department.
If you choose not to self-identify at this time, the federal government requires [Company Name] to determine this information by visual survey and/or other available information.
