OFCCP’s definition of who is an “Applicant” continues to flip-flop with several competing definitions emerging from the agency, even now:
Are these “Applicants” or not?
· Self-Select-Outs. In or out? Depends on which OFCCP Region you are in. Only one has the right answer.
· Under age. In or out?
· Lack I-9 authorization. In or out?
· Not minimally qualified. In or out?
· Failed drug test. In or out?
· Failed background check. In or out?
Is the “Internet Applicant” definition any different from the definition of a paper and pencil “Applicant”? What does Title VII law say in answer to all of these questions?
Will the courts accept “Not Most Qualified” as a Disposition Code documenting the legitimate reason for non-selection?
How many Disposition Codes should you have? Should you use letters or numbers?
How should you respond to OFCCP in audits when an OFCCP Compliance Officer asks for your “Applicant Flow Log” or “Applicant and Hires data”? Provide the Not Applicants information, too?
Why should your Applicant Flow Log also document all Accepted and Declined “Offers”?
Why you should document all applicable Disposition Codes, and not just only one
Presenters Candee Chambers and John Fox will answer all of these questions and more and resolve the ambiguities in OFCCP’s positions on each question in a highly interactive, 90 minute webinar with 30 minutes of Q&A as follows:
2:00pm to 2:30pm Discussion
2:30pm to 2:45pm Q&A
2:45pm to 3:15pm Discussion
