The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires all private employers with 100 or more employees as well as federal contractors and first-tier sub-contractors with 50 or more employees AND contracts of at least $50,000 to invite applicants to self-identify gender and race and complete an EEO-1 report each year. 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.
