Hindsight Is Insight: Real Observations of OFCCP Enforcement Under the Latest Directives
The OFCCP’s 2018 release of five directives in two months was the most issued in the shortest period of time. Their purpose was to support the OFCCP’s mission to ensure transparency and collaboration in all stages of its compliance activities. They included rules on transparency in compliance, analysis of compensation practices during reviews, focused compliance reviews, and programs to recognize contractor best practices. Has OFCCP stayed the course since the directives’ release? Have enforcement practices changed for the better? In this session, the presenter will share experiences and observations from real OFCCP interactions, discuss lessons learned, and provide practical recommendations for handling OFCCP compliance under the agency’s latest rules.
