EEO-1 Reporting Requirements--Title VII

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed to eliminate discrimination on the basis of race, sex, national origin, color, and religion from the American workplace. Title VII, which applies to most employers with 15 or more employees, is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). To facilitate its enforcement of Title VII, the EEOC has promulgated regulations subjecting covered employers to several reporting requirements. This article summarizes the requirement of the EEO-1 form, the main report required under Title VII.

Modification or Termination of a Collective Bargaining Agreement

The Labor-Management Relations Act (LMRA) imposes upon employers and labor unions a "mutual obligation . . . to meet at reasonable times and confer in good faith with respect to wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment, or the negotiation of an agreement or any question arising thereunder." The LMRA also imposes rules on employers and unions once a collective bargaining agreement is reached between the parties with regard to whether and how a collective bargaining agreement may be modified or terminated.

Background and Application

Unemployment Insurance -- Financing -- Reserve Funds

A recent trend in the management of state unemployment insurance programs is the establishment of special accounts known as reserve funds. Reserve funds are the product of the desire to expand the services offered by state unemployment insurance programs as well as the long-term financial stability that some state unemployment accounts enjoy. The result is a cost-effective and low-risk way of improving the lives and the prospects of those individuals facing unemployment.

Unemployment Benefits - Protest - Voluntary Leaving

One basis of protest that disqualifies the claimant from eligibility for receiving unemployment benefits occurs when the claimant quit the job voluntarily by leaving without good cause. The unemployment system was designed to insure or compensate workers for wages they lost due to lack of work as a result of the general economic conditions or other reasons and not due to any fault of their own. All states, therefore, have provisions disqualifying a worker who left his employment voluntarily and without a good cause for doing so.
