Revisions to the EEO-1 Report due for the 2007 EEO-1 Report
In an effort to reflect the changes taking place in the racial and ethnic composition of the population in the US, the EEOC has issued a new EEO-1 Reporting format that will become effective in September 2007. Employers will need time well in advance of a September 30 reporting date to build the necessary infrastructure for reporting the EEO-1 data. So it would be appropriate to start collecting this information during this calendar year as a preparation for compliance with this regulation next year. The changes are as follows:
Ethnicity
Hispanic or Latino – A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race
White – A person having origins in any if the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa.
Black or African – A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa.
Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islanders – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.
Asian – A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including for example Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.
American Indian or Alaska Native – A person having origins in any of original peoples of North and South America, (including Central America), and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment.
Two or More Races – All persons who identify with more than one of the above five races.
Including these definitions in your data collection systems could prove helpful in meeting your EEO-1 identification requirements for the 2007 EEO-1 Report and the data needed to complete your AAP for next year.
Self-identification is the preferred method of identifying the race and ethnic information necessary for the EEO-1 report. Employers are strongly encouraged to use self-identification to complete the EEO-1 report. If an employee declines to self-identify, employment records or observer identification may be used.
CHANGES IN THE DEFINITION OF THE EEO-1 JOB CLASSIFICATIONS
The revised EEO-1 Report has adopted two sub-categories of Officials and Managers: Executive Senior level Officials and Managers and First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers. The differences between them are based on the job’s responsibility and influence.
- 1. Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers.
Individuals who plan, direct and formulate policies, set strategy and provide the overall direction of enterprises/organizations for the development and delivery of products and services, within the parameters approved by boards of directors or other governing bodies. Residing in the highest levels of organizations, these executives plan, direct, or coordinate activities with the support of subordinate executives and staff managers. They include, in larger organizations, those individuals with two reporting levels of the CEO, whose responsibilities require frequent interaction with the CEO. Examples of these kinds of managers are: Chief executive officers, chief operating officers, chief financial officers, line of business heads, presidents or executive vice presidents of functional areas or operating groups, chief information officers, chief human resources officers, chief marketing officers, chief legal officers, management directors and managing partners.
- 2. First/Mid-Level Officials and Managers direct implementation or operations within specific parameters set by Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers; oversee day-to-day operations) individuals who serve as officials and managers, other than those who serve as Executive/Senior Level Officials and Managers, including those who oversee and direct the delivery of products, services or functions at group, regional or divisional levels of organizations. These officials and managers receive directions from Executive/Senior Level management and typically lead major business units. They implement policies, programs and directives of Executive/Senior Level management through subordinate managers and within the parameters set by Executive/Senior Level management. Examples of these kinds of officials and managers are: Vice presidents and directors; group, regional or divisional controllers; treasurers; and human resources, information systems, marketing, and operations managers. Managers subcategory also includes those who report directly to middle managers. These individuals serve at functional, line of business segment or branch levels and are responsible for directing and executing the day-to-day operational objectives of enterprises/organizations, conveying the directions of higher level officials and managers to subordinate personnel and, in some instances, directly supervising the activities of exempt and non-exempt personnel.
