An Employment Information Report (EEO–1), also known as a Standard Form 100, is filed annually with the EEO-1 Joint Reporting Committee and provides a demographic breakdown of the employer’s work force by race and sex. Standard Form 100 must be filed by covered Federal contractors who:

• Have 50 or more employees, and
• Are prime contractors or first–tier subcontractors, and
• Have a contract, subcontract, or purchase order amounting to $50,000 or more; or
