EEO Self-Identify Form

Could anyone share an EEO self-identification form that employees can fill out to self-identify their race? We have never asked employees to self-identify before, but with the revised EEO-1 reporting, I know we have to start doing so in September, and might as well get started soon. So if anyone has one that includes the new race categories, I would greatly appreciate if you could share it with me.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Employers need to poll their workforce to ensure all employees are correctly classified in the appropriate categories as listed on the EEO-1 report.

Here's our form we're going to be using. This is the first year we have to file since we've always had less than 100 EEs.
(irrelevant information is taken out):
Therefore, we are asking that each employee fill out this self-identification form. Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The information will be kept confidential and separate from personnel files. It will only be used in accordance with the provisions of applicable laws, executive orders, and regulations, including those requiring information to be summarized and reported to the federal government for civil rights enforcement. Reported data will not identify any specific individual. Should you have any questions, please contact the Human Resources Office.

I researched at the time of my job change and was confident we didn't need to do the EEO-1. Then I tripped over an article about six months ago and saw the 100+ requirement. Called our local HR consultants and they said the requirement has been in place for some time but the EEOC doesn't monitor or police it. At least that is my recollection of their response.
Sooo - I will begin reporting this year. I think we will need to resurvey all current staff, as we have no reliable statistics right now. We also have pretty high staff turnover, so a lot of planning and training will need to go into rolling out the new forms, how we'll store them, how supervisors should ask questions, etc.
I didn't have anything better to do, anyway.

Oh man, that will keep you from playing with the glitter and threading for a while. We'll miss you.
I give new employees the self-identify form on their first day of work during orientation. Current staff received theirs with their paycheck several months ago.
Once the employee has completed the form and I have entered the information into my database, I discard the form. There is no reason for me to keep it and I don't know of any regulation that requires you to keep it.
Only surveying existing staff once and new hires as they start would be better.
Seems like you'd want to retain the form in the event you ever have to explain why you indicated someone is of a particular category. Don't know why we'd have to explain, but I am quite paranoid about having backup for pretty much everything I do, especially when it comes to anything associated with EEOC...
If you choose to keep the form, please do not keep it in your personnel folders. It could be used as evidence against you in a discrimination suit.
So glad we don't have to survey applicants. It was a lot of work maintaining that info in my past life with just 95 employees and all the applicants that come with that size of business. I was not looking forward to maintaining applicant statistics for this company, with 650 employees, high turnover, and only one other person in my department. That's a lot of applicants to track...
