OFCCP Enforcement Trends: How to Proactively Prepare for an Audit

SHRM 2013 Employment Law and Legislative Conference
Workplace Application: To avoid the risk of monetary sanctions or even debarment for noncompliance, federal contractors will benefit from a review of their various nondiscrimination and affirmative action requirements.

 

Compliance with federal provisions is a condition for receiving federal funds as a covered contractor. What happens at the OFCCP may affect your compliance responsibilities, so it’s vital to learn about the agency’s latest changing approach to investigating an employer's affirmative action efforts on behalf of veterans and individuals with disabilities. In addition, proposed revisions to its regulations concerning veterans, disability, and compensation will be discussed. This informative session also include a discussion of current OFCCP activities surrounding investigating contractor compliance, conducting adverse impact analyses and reviewing contractor compensation practices in compliance reviews. Finally, you’ll obtain the presenter’s practical advice, tips, and suggestions for:

  • Self-auditing your employment practices.
  • Identifying and correcting problem areas, prior to an audit.
  • Responding to OFCCP audit questions.
