Annual Compliance Report
Every year, companies with Workforce Certificates must submit an Annual Compliance Report.
These reports require companies to report on their efforts to maintain a workplace free from discrimination under the Minnesota Human Rights Act over the past year.
You do not need to submit any payments with your Annual Compliance Reports.

Due date
Annual Compliance Reports are due on or before the date of when the Minnesota Department of Human Rights approved a company's Workforce Certificate.
- Example: Company ABC's Workforce Certificate was approved on June 15. Company ABC's reports are due on or before June 15 for the next four years.
Early Reporting
Companies may change their first reporting period to start one or two months before the certificate approval date. The new start date must use the same day of the month as the approval date.
- Example: If the certificate was approved on June 1, the reporting period may start on May 1 or April 1. Reporting dates must be consistent for all 4 years during the life of the certificate.
Complete Both Parts of the Annual Compliance Report
There are two parts of the Annual Compliance Report that companies must complete.
As part of the annual report, companies will need Census data. Go to the Census Tab on the Apply for a Workforce Certificate page to download data for your local area and state.
Upload Part 1 and Part 2.
Failure to complete
The Annual Compliance Report is required by Minnesota Rule 5000.3580.
Failure to report may result in suspension of your company’s Workforce Certificate, which may result in cancellation or termination of contracts your company has with government agencies, metropolitan agencies, and the University of Minnesota.
