Why Should You Attend:

With OFCCP’s latest fiscal year closing September 30, the agency and federal contractors are looking forward to 2017. The message is clear: OFCCP is better funded, more sophisticated, and more motivated than ever to aggressively enforce affirmative action rules under EO 11246. For the contractor, it is extremely important to comply with these laws or face serious repercussions. Yet, now, more than ever, remaining OFCCP compliant can be one of the toughest challenges an organization faces. With federal employment laws and agency regulatory changes evolving at an exponential rate it is vital to stay on top of the sizable body of information.

This in depth analysis will present the history and development of affirmative action and its guiding principles so that your organization can be better positioned. The course will:

  • Review the history of affirmative action where the instructor will walk through its key principles and current framework for developing compliant programs.
  • Discuss the current OFCCP enforcement strategies and trends so that you are well prepared to move forward and understand your responsibilities as a contractor and how to meet the latest regulatory challenges.

Topic Background:

In 2014, President Obama signed several executive orders imposing significant new requirements on employers that do business with the federal government, either as direct prime contractors or as subcontractors. These new executive orders will require a quick review and often wide-ranging changes to your employment and human resources policies and practices. In addition, the OFCCP recently revised its Scheduling Letter and is embarking on a wave of compliance audits during which the agency will for the first time enforce the new veterans and disability regulations and continue its rapidly changing approach to investigating your pay systems for potential discrimination.
