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:

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:

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.

As co-leader of the firm’s ESG group, Laura Mitchell partners with her clients to evaluate, set, achieve and monitor their organizational culture and human capital goals. She focuses her practice on data analytics, including pay equity and other employee analytics, working side-by-side with employers to build programs that benefit employees and create a stable, high-functioning workplace. Understanding that an inclusive, values-based culture provides a crucial competitive advantage in the modern workplace, Laura enjoys counseling companies on the development of proactive and equitable pay and diversity practices.

In Laura’s version of the reimagined workplace, attention to human capital issues, especially DEI and pay equity, would be the rule rather than the exception nationwide and she works with companies across all industries—both new and well-established multi-national organizations of all sizes—to realize this vision for her clients’ ongoing success. She helps clients understand all issues across the spectrum of their journey, helping to establish regular analyses as well as counseling organizations on implementation and compliance obligations, where applicable. Committed to putting her clients’ organizational goals first and foremost, Laura views herself as an extension of her clients’ team, responsible for providing proactive guidance and engaging in transparent, ongoing communication.

Laura also represents companies in OFCCP matters, preparing for and defending OFCCP audits, and counseling employers on issues stemming from OFCCP regulations. She personally oversees the development of hundreds of Affirmative Action Plans for clients each year and is intimately involved in the defense of OFCCP audits. Her approach to compliance is one of facilitation and conciliation while simultaneously advocating in the best interests of her clients.
