Compliance Enforcement in an Era of Lean Government – How to Prepare for OFCCP Compliance Reviews in 2018

Presented By Shafeequa Giarratani, Ogletree Deakins, December 5, 2017

The Trump Administration’s 2018 budget proposes significant cuts for many federal agencies, including that of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Program (OFCCP). The OFCCP faces more than 16% reduction in budget; and a head count reduction of about 23% from prior year. The acting Director of the OFCCP Tom Dowd, however, promises that the OFCCP agenda will not be affected, and in fact be expanded with programs for more awareness, assistance and enforcement for contractors. That means that the contractors should not equate a budget cut with a lesser number of audits. Indeed, many industry insiders expect that enforcement will actually expand.  To navigate a coordinated focus on awareness, training and enforcement by a ‘lean and mean’ OFCCP needs preparation on the part of Federal contractors.

Affirmative Action Plan Methodology 101

Presented By Cassie Verdon and DIana Sicari, Biddle Consulting Group, September 19, 2017

An Affirmative Action Plan (AAP) is the foundation of EEO/OFCCP compliance program. Yet, many professionals make unintended errors. The webinar covers the requirements for being compliant with Executive Order 11246, as amended; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended; and the Vietnam Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212. and covers topics such as a) Brief history of Affirmative Action, b) Who must create an AAP, c) Requirements of an AAP, d) Common audit requests. Affirmative Action Plans have their roots in the Civil Rights era. Although there are core tenents that have been consistent over time, regulations get updated and changes in presidential administrations shift the focus and direction of the OFCCP. This in turn affects how contractors utilize and maintain their AAPs.  This webinar is designed to educate participants on the background and history of the OFCCP, as well as provide a framework for understanding the basic components of an AAP. The webinar will also focus on regulatory updates under the new presidential administration, review some common audit questions, and provide helpful tips for making all parts of the AAP work together.
