Legislated Employment Equity Program

The Legislated Employment Equity Program (LEEP) covers federally regulated employers that fall under the Employment Equity Act. Every year by June 1, over 400 employers submit employment equity reports showing the representation of the designated groups within their workforce. The Employer Reports and Analysis Unit receives these reports and verifies them for compliance with the reporting requirements. The individual reports are published, and they are also the basis for the Minister of Labour's Annual Report on the Employment Equity Act.
