Responding to questions following her keynote address at the annual conference of the American Association for Affirmative Action, OFCCP Director Patricia Shiu informed conference participants that OFCCP plans to conduct additional webinars on Directive 307, the Agency’s new Procedures for Reviewing Contractor Compensation Systems and Practices.
Director Shiu explained that there appears to be a “lack of understanding” around what the Agency means when it refers to using “existing Title VII principles” to conduct compensation audits and OFCCP wants to “educate” the contractor community more on this topic.
Director Shiu expressed the Agency’s perspective that the compensation directive is an “ongoing dialogue” with employers, reiterating that compensation analyses are “not going to be the same in every case.”
Details as to when the additional webinars may be held are not yet available.
