EEOC Moves to Scrap 5 EEO Reports, Including EEO-1 Workforce Demographics
3 articles · Updated · The National Law Review · Jun 3
Summary
The EEOC proposed eliminating all five federal EEO reporting forms — EEO-1 through EEO-5 — ending collection of workforce demographic data such as race and gender if the change is finalized.
EEO-1 is the best-known filing for employers, while the broader proposal would also rescind reports covering other public- and private-sector entities now subject to those submissions.
The move was highlighted alongside other workplace policy shifts this week, including a Fifth Circuit ruling that in-person attendance can be an essential job function despite COVID-era remote-work accommodations.
Tennessee also is tightening limits on non-compete agreements, with contracts becoming unenforceable from July 1, 2026 for employees earning under $70,000 a year.
