                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
          CHAPTER XIV--EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION
 
PART 1602_RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS UNDER TITLE VII AND THE ADA--Table of Contents
 
                  Subpart C_Recordkeeping by Employers
 
Sec. 1602.13  Records as to racial or ethnic identity of employees.

    Employers may acquire the information necessary for completion of 
items 5 and 6 of Report EEO-1 either by visual surveys of the work 
force, or at their option, by the maintenance of post-employment records 
as to the identity of employees where the same is permitted by State 
law. In the latter case, however, the Commission recommends the 
maintenance of a permanent record as to the racial or ethnic identity of 
an individual for purpose of completing the report form only where the 
employer keeps such records separately from the employee's basic 
personnel form or other records available to those responsible for 
personnel decisions, e.g., as part of an automatic data processing 
system in the payroll department.
