The portal for employers to submit 2024 EEO-1 Reports to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) opened on May 20, 2025. The deadline to file 2024 EEO-1 Reports is June 24, 2025.
EEO-1 Overview
The EEO-1 Report is a federally mandated survey that collects workforce data categorized by race, ethnicity, sex and job category. Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, covered employers must usually submit EEO-1 Reports by March 31. However, the EEOC pushed the deadline for 2024 EEO-1 Reports to June 24, 2025.
Covered Entities
- A private employer that has 100 or more employees (with limited exceptions for schools and other organizations);
- A private employer with between 15 and 99 employees, if it is part of a group of employers that legally constitutes a single enterprise that employs a total of 100 or more employees; and
- A federal contractor that has 50 or more employees; is either a prime contractor or first-tier subcontractor; and has a contract, subcontract or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more.
Removal of Nonbinary Reporting Option
In prior EEOC instructions, covered entities could voluntarily report the number of employees who self-reported as nonbinary when indicating their sex. The 2024 EEO-1 instructions remove this option and require employers to report each employee’s sex as either male or female.
