Under the leadership of Craig Leen, OFCCP has made a renewed commitment to providing technical assistance to contractors.  True to their word, and in furtherance of its Town Hall Action Plan, OFCCP announced on Friday the release of a number of new technical assistance guides (TAGs), with more on the way.  Interestingly, Director Leen did not make any formal announcement of their upcoming release during last week’s ILG National Conference.

These new TAGs are in addition to the previously released “What Contractors Can Expect“ guidance.

Record keeping

OFCCP has released three TAGs to address record keeping obligations:

• EO 11246 Recordkeeping Guide
• Section 503 Recordkeeping Guide
• VEVRAA Recordkeeping Guide

Brief in nature, the TAGs set out in a quick glance the record keeping obligations for the three regulations.

Applicant Tracking

The agency has also provided guidance around applicant tracking compliance, including definitions and record keeping obligations:

• Applicant Tracking Guide
• Applicant Tracking FAQs

Posting and Notices

The agency additionally, published a lengthy Posting and Notices Guide that provides an explanation of the required posting and notices as well as handy check-lists for self-auditing.

General Information

In addition, OFCCP has published a guide entitled “OFCCP at a Glance” explaining the agency’s mission and enforcement responsibilities.

It is our understanding OFCCP is working on TAGs for Construction Contractors, Institutions of Higher Education as well as Supply and Service Contractors.  We will update as soon as those guides are available.
