We currently use a staffing company to fill our employment needs however we will hire those individuals who prove to be very good workers and can meet our standards.  My concern is this, when someone applies for a job the employer (if they are large enough) must maintain all of the EEO information but when that person then gets hired by the new employer (e.g. my company) do we now need to maintain EEO information?  We have not directly hired anyone(non-exempt that is) since about 1994 and we have not yet hired any of these temporary workers.  Just curious if we were going to hire them from the temporary agency if we needed to maintain those records?  Thanks

The definition of employee for the EEO-1 Report should answer your question

 "'Employee' means any individual on the payroll of an employer who is an employee for purposes of the employers withholding of Social Security taxes except insurance sales agents who are considered to be employees for such purposes solely because of the provisions of 26 USC 3121 (d) (3) (B) (the Internal Revenue Code). Leased employees are included in this definition. Leased Employee means a permanent employee provided by an employment agency for a fee to an outside company for which the employment agency handles all personnel tasks including payroll, staffing, benefit payments and compliance reporting. The employment agency shall, therefore, include leased employees in its EEO-1 report. The term employee SHALL NOT include persons who are hired on a casual basis for a specified time, or for the duration of a specified job (for example, persons at a construction site whose employment relationship is expected to terminate with the end of the employees work at the site); persons temporarily employed in any industry other than construction, such as temporary office workers, mariners, stevedores, lumber yard workers, etc., who are hired through a hiring hall or other referral arrangement, through an employee contractor or agent, or by some individual hiring arrangement, or persons (EXCEPT leased employees) on the payroll of an employment agency who are referred by such agency for work to be performed on the premises of another employer under that employers direction and control."
