Essentials of Affirmative Action and OFCCP Compliance

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

This 90-minute affirmative action and OFCCP compliance webinar covers the key fundamentals for federal contractors, or gives experienced contractors a solid review.

It explains what affirmative action is, who the OFCCP is, and the affirmative action laws and regulations it enforces. You'll learn the types of federal contractors, who counts as a government contractor, and which contractors must meet affirmative action requirements.

The session then covers developing an affirmative action plan (AAP), including AAPs for women and minorities and for workers with disabilities and veterans, compensation issues, regulatory changes for veterans and individuals with disabilities, and how OFCCP compliance reviews work, from contractor selection to common violations and possible outcomes.
