Who must file an EEO-1 report?
The
Standard Form 100 (EEO-1) report requires covered employers to provide a count
of their employees by job category and then by ethnicity, race, and
gender. The report must be filed by:
The
EEO-1 report is submitted to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and
the DOL Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.
Single- vs. multi-establishment employers
NOTE: Covered
employers who check the multi-establishment box must file:
- A
report covering the principal or headquarters office;
-
A
separate report for each establishment employing 50 or more persons; and
-
A
consolidated report that must include all employees by race, sex
and job category for all company establishments, regardless of the number
of employees.
The
total number of employees indicated on the headquarters report, plus the
establishment reports, plus the list of establishments with fewer than 50
employees, must equal the total number of employees shown on the consolidated
report.
Correct
identification of employees at different establishments is particularly
important for multi-establishment employers that are also government
contractors since EEO-1 reporting may later inform reporting obligations under
government contracting laws.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission website.
Who must file a VETS-100 report?
Certain
federal contractors are required to file a VETS-100 or VETS-100A report
tracking the number of employees and new hires who belong to the
categories of veterans protected under the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974 and subsequent amendments to the act.
Filing a VETS-100 vs. VETS-100A report
Most
employers will file a VETS-100A report. Contractors who must file a
VETS-100A report must have a government contract or subcontract:
Only
employers with a government contract or subcontract in the amount of at least
$25,000 that was entered into before December 1, 2003 will file a VETS-100
report.
The
VETS-100A report differs from its predecessor in two distinct ways:
- The
categories of veterans; and
-
The
job categories included in the report reflect the revised EEO-1 report,
which, as of 2005, divides the "Officials and Managers" category
into two sub-groups:
(1)
Executives/Senior Level Officials and
(2) Managers
and First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers.

more information about the VETS-100 Report, go to the U.S.
Department of Labor website.
Penalties
The
filing of EEO-1 and VETS-100/100A reports is required by law; it is not
voluntary. Not filing the appropriate reports may result in penalties, up
to and including debarment from future federal contracts.
