Candee and John have completed their annual “deep dive” into OFCCP’s enforcement stats and Conciliation Agreements. While the failure to hire and compensation results are well-known, we are now able to give you a complete “blueprint”, mapping all of OFCCP’s alleged violations. This year is surprising in that both the volume of affirmative action plan alleged violations is very large and the alleged violations are also very broad in their scope. Gone are the days OFCCP had its favorite list of a few alleged violations and strayed not too far from that menu. OFCCP’s appetite for violations has clearly broadened. Candee’s and John’s “map” of the affirmative action plan violations, in addition to the alleged discrimination analyses, will position you for next year to know what parts of your AAPs you should put “under the microscope” and what repairs you should consider. Here is your chance to learn about OFCCP’s broadened compliance areas currently of interest to OFCCP.



Candee and John will also discuss some high points about OFCCP’s AAP-Verification Initiative. This discussion will straighten out some of the confusion currently surrounding the substance and quality of the contents of the AAPs contractors must certify they have “on file” and the legal authority for that conclusion for those contractors which agree to voluntarily comply with that portion of the AAP-VI which calls for contractor “certification” of its AAPs. It's not what you think, and probably not what you have heard.
